From the Rick Owens leathers to the Balenciaga finery, there’s no denying A$AP Rocky is a certified fashion killa (you can check his influence in other rapper’s closets). But the Harlem upstart spits more than designer labels from that gold-plated mouth. He followed his lean-drenched mixtape, Live.Love.A$AP, with a chart-topping debut that shows off his versatility and a penchant for crossing state lines when it comes to flow.
And while that helped Rocky to earn the title of #8 Hottest MC in the Game, Pretty Flacko’s buzz and his grasp on the intangibles also put him in contention for our list.

The style-conscious NYC-based hip-hop star started out making mixtapes, then scored a recording deal thanks to his breakout hits ‘Purple Swag’ and ‘Peso.’ His debut album ‘LONG.LIVE.A$AP’ debuted to feverish buzz at number one on the ‘Billboard’ chart and hit the top 10 on the iTunes chart in 24 countries, including the #2 spot in the U.K. and Germany, and the #1 spot in Canada, France, and Australia. What else would you expect from an artist whose given name, Rakim, honours one of the founding fathers of rap? Now, as MTV PUSH backs his bid for global superstardom, A$AP Rocky (the A$AP stands for Always Strive And Prosper) is poised to make his own mark on hip-hop history.
