The very minimal/menacing “Multiply” is the new single from A$AP Rocky. On “Multiply” A$AP rides a complex but still familiar flow on top a commanding instrumental. We’re into this swerve palette-wise against current mainstream rap (Mustard on the beat hoe) from A$AP Rocky and are very much into “Multiply”.

Asap Rocky’s debut LongLiveASAP is due to drop on January 15th – and this track wants to make sure everybody knows how important that’s going to be: “1Train” goes in heavy and squeezes a plethora of big names into 6 minutes of triumphant beats, think of this as 2012’s executive summary of hip-hop.

AraabMUZIK is ON FIRE! Swizz Beatz is not a great rapper but with support from AM’s producing-out-of-his-mind level beat he sounds at least competent here (if not enjoyable). The hipster hammer A$AP Rocky is on the feature here and easily holds up his part of the song with a fresh set of rhymes.

One of the standout tracks on Q’s just released Habits and Contradictions mixtape, “Hands on the Wheel” features A$AP Rocky and is that sort of fist-pumping-in-the-air making-it-rain-every-night-of-the-week victory rap that puts proper punctuation on the sort of run that Schoolboy Q is in the middle of right now.

Probably our favorite new MC, our man ASAP inked a deal with RCA last week. First Harlem, then the world. The buttery, piano-driven “Out of This World” goes ASAP in. ASAP.

Stacks on stacks on stacks. Jim-E Stack’s bootleg of “Purple Swag” is about as sick as it gets. Garage Hop or GTFO.

Two of the hottest MCs in the game right now link up with one of the hottest producers in the universe. Space age heat.

Virginia singer Kate Bollinger sets her cool melodic alto to a hazy keys-driven instrumental that as a track sounds that it’d be equally at home in A$AP Rocky’s air pods as he’s ambling by the Seine as it does on this very dusty not so A$AP SF bus I’m on right now. Great track.
