A$AP Rocky

Fashion-forward MC

A$AP Rocky is the stage name of American rapper Rakim Mayers, a leading figure in hip-hop since the early 2010s.

The A$AP prefix identifies him as a member of the A$AP Mob, a Harlem-based hip-hop collective.

Known for his laid-back flow and fashion-forward image, he's as prominent in style circles as in music: A$AP Rocky sat front row at Paris Fashion Week.
