Last night, the A$AP Mob banded together for the first drop off their upcoming album Cozy Tapes Vol 2: Too Cozy. In case you missed it, you can check out "Feels So Good" in both audio and visual form right here. The track, which has already amassed a solid user rating of "VERY HOTTTT," features verses from A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, A$AP Nast, A$AP Twelvyy and A$AP Ant, who all go in over a beat co-produced by Hit Boy and Frank Dukes. Now that the track has been released, perhaps we can begin to understand a potential sonic direction Cozy Tapes 2 might take.
With their lead off single officially in the ether, the group hit up The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon for a creative take on live performance. There were no stages, live bands, or DJs in the mix. In fact, the whole segment felt somewhat like an alternate variation of the music video. The clip cut to a backstage area, where the Mob posted up in various degrees of b-boy squats while delivering a lip-synced performance of the track. That's not to say it wasn't dope, as the energy, raw aesthetic, and continuous long take were enough to compel, but it might have been more interesting to hear the group actually spitting their respective verses.
Still, one can't exactly hate on that fact that A$AP Mob is getting mainstream television shine. The Awgest takeover is proving true to its mission statement, and the Mob has been steady staking their claim on summer's sendoff month. With A$AP Twelvyy's stellar 12 album still riding it's lasting power, and A$AP Ferg's Still Striving dropping August 18th, things are only going to get crazier. And that's not even considering the Mob's entire project, the aforementioned Cozy Tapes Vol 2: Too Cozy, which is scheduled to drop on August 25th. Check out their Fallon performance below.
