When folks talk about "loving the crew," you can imagine they're referring to a gang like this. A$AP Rocky already told us that members of A$AP Mob lead the same rock-star life that he does, and it's not hard to believe. These guys aren't hang-ons or weed carriers. Each member of A$AP has a full-fledged personality and purpose within the group. Sure, a lot of them rap, as you know and expect, but you'll also find managers, stylists, producers, designers, and more role players branching out from the same collective.

For the first time in a long time, Hip Hop can genuinely say that a new generation of MC’s have arrived. Sure, there are those who helped birth the culture and music and people who can say they grew up with it. But now, you are witnessing perhaps the first generation that can say they were raised on Hip Hop almost exclusively. If you don’t agree, you’re probably not listening to enough ScHoolboy Q. Although the artist born Quincy Matthew Hanley has only been rapping since 2007, his bluntly charismatic presence on wax should’ve already put him on your radar as one of rap’s emerging voices.
