Album Review: A$AP Ferg - Trap Lord

It’s a debut, sure, but for now his apparent destiny seems a little way off.

More A$AP Ferg More A$AP Ferg

Ferg, often described as the only member of the A$AP clique besides Rocky with star potential, is tough to pin down. He'll drop a Bone Thugs-n-Harmony tribute the next track after a Bone Thugs-n-Harmony cameo. He'll disclose his ambition to “be as known as Jesus” in interviews. He'll send out a sing-song guest spot: Kissin' Pink. He's becoming known as someone who brings excitement. Sadly, Trap Lord is not that artist's album; this is not the fun Ferg promised. It's a debut, sure, but for now his apparent destiny seems a little way off.
