A$AP Rocky

Rapper With a major tour lined up and a $3 million deal with RCA Records, this rap newcomer is already running the industry. His Houston sound and Harlem-boy demeanor attracted millions to his music when he released his first singles, "Purple Swag" and "PeSo," earlier this year.  He even caught the attention of Young Money spitter Drake, who recruited Rocky for his Club Paradise Tour, which kicked off in November 2011. With his mixtape "Live, Love, A$AP" keeping fans abuzz, and endorsements from hip hop's elite, A$AP Rocky is looking like the next big thing.
