# ASAP Mob

ASAP Mob (stylized as A$AP Mob) is an American hip-hop collective formed in 2006 in Harlem, New York City, that consists of rappers (most of whom carry the "ASAP" moniker; except Da$H and Playboi Carti), record producers, music video directors, and fashion designers.
In August 2012, the collective released the mixtape Lords Never Worry. They released the single "Trillmatic" in December 2013, followed by their debut studio album, Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends, in October 2016 and second studio album Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy in August 2017.

## History
### Formation and early beginnings (2006–2012)

In 2006, Steven Rodriguez, professionally known as ASAP Yams, formed the collective with fellow New Yorkers ASAP Bari and ASAP Illz. Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky joined later. The "ASAP" name was always understood as the familiar acronym for "as soon as possible", but it has also been explained as a backronym for other ideas including "Always Strive and Prosper", "Assassinating Snitches and Police", and "Acronym Symbolizing Any Purpose", the latter reportedly the favorite of ASAP Rocky. In the summer of 2011, the group released music videos for Rocky's singles "Peso" and "Purple Swag", produced by ASAP Ty Beats. Rocky followed up with his mixtape Live.Love.ASAP in October, signing a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment that month.

### Lords Never Worry (2012–2014)

On August 27, 2012, ASAP Mob released their debut project, a mixtape titled Lords Never Worry, as a free download. From September to November, Rocky toured with opening acts Schoolboy Q, Danny Brown, and ASAP Mob in support of his solo debut album.
In January 2013, ASAP Ferg signed a joint venture deal with RCA and Polo Grounds, which released his single "Work" for retail on iTunes. An official remix of "Work", featuring Rocky, French Montana, Schoolboy Q, and Trinidad James followed.
Rocky's debut album Long. Live. ASAP, was released on January 15, 2013, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 139,000 copies in the United States.
ASAP Ferg announced that ASAP Mob would release their debut album after the release of his solo debut album Trap Lord, on August 20, 2013. The album peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200 and number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with first-week sales of 32,000 copies in the United States. In November 2013, ASAP Rocky announced that the Mob's debut album would be titled Lords. On December 4, 2013, the album's first single, entitled "Trillmatic." The album title was then changed to L.O.R.D. On January 13, 2014, the single "See Me" by ASAP Ant was released.
On September 26, 2014, ASAP Yams revealed that L.O.R.D. had been shelved.
