A$AP Ferg‘s new album will be called Always Strive and Prosper. He announced the title for his sophomore album with Hot 97 on the black carpet at the “Tidal X: 10/20” event in New York this past Tuesday. “I can tell you the name of the album, the name of the album is Always Strive and Prosper," he said. "[I'm] takin’ it back to the A$AP roots where we come from, that’s what A$AP stands for.“

Ferg's dropped his debut album Trap Lord in 2013. He said that he isn't going to have fans wait too long for his next project. He said the new album will be out the first quarter of 2016. “I promise you I’m not gonna pull a Dr. Dre and take 10 years to put out an album but, you know, it’s gonna be out first quarter [of 2016]," A$AP Ferg said. Watch the interview below and skip to the 3:15 mark for Ferg‘s part. He later confirmed both news on Twitter and said it's dropping in January.

The A$AP Mob member spoke to us about the difference between his new album and Trap Lord. "Well, you just hear the growth," he said. "It’s more musical. It’s just me going out the box. It’s not really my box. If you know me and my music, I do whatever the fuck I want to do. But I feel like for people who expect a certain type of Ferg, they’re going to get something totally different."
