Watch A$AP Rocky Bring Out Yasiin Bey in London
A$AP Rocky has been going by the moniker Pretty Flacko for years now but didn't start calling himself that until he got approval from the original Pretty Flacko, Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def. While out in London Rocky paid homage to mighty Mos by bringing the fellow NY MC out to perform "Ms. Fat Booty" and "Universal Magnetic" before Rocky closed with the A$AP posse cut, "Hella Hoes." The two popped up as unscheduled guests at Deviation, a London club night hosted by BBC Radio's Benji B. Based on the footage above and clips from Rocky's Instagram account show that the club was on tilt for the East Coast ambassadors.
Rocky's sophomore LP, At.Long.Last.A$AP, doesn't have a release date at the moment but Rocky has been talking about the project to outlets like GQ and MTV. . "Look at it: At.Long.Last.A$AP. A-L-L-A. Like slang for 'Allah.' It's the return of the god MC." Rocky told GQ. "I'm named after Rakim, and I'm finally facing what it means: I was born to do this shit," he says. "And I hope I get to do it for a very long time."
