Watch as A$AP Rocky pays a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live for a special performance of his At. Long. Last. ASAP record, ‘Canal St.’, with California rapper Bones.

This month we wrapped up our second straight year at Lollapalooza. And while we already shared some of our favorite moments from the Windy City festival, we wanted to share more photos of some of our favorite performers at Lolla this year. In total we saw a number of great performances from The Weeknd, Sam Smith, Metallica, Kid Cudi, Paul McCartney, Tyler The Creator, Father John Misty and Marina and the Diamonds, just to name a few.
Check out our fifth Lollapalooza Photo Series piece of A$AP Rocky’s Sunday performance below.
If you weren’t in Chicago for this year’s Lollapalooza, you were probably pretty jealous that fans got to see performances from both Tyler the Creator and A$AP Rocky in one weekend. Well lucky for you, the two have teamed up with Vince Staples and Danny Brown for an upcoming fall tour. The 9-date tour will kick off in Lowell, MA in September and will hit stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and more, until it closes in Dallas at the South Side Ballroom. Tickets go on sale Friday at RockyAndTyler.com.
Here at The Early Registration we like to pride ourselves on our music knowledge. To stay polished on our musical expertise, our new feature is a little game of musical “6 Degrees”. For those who are unfamiliar, six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone in the world is connected by six or fewer steps, so we are now taking the liberty of connecting musicians whom you would never think could be connected, in exactly six steps. This week our 6˚ piece is dedicated to Lollapalooza amazing lineup, which is coming to Chicago in just a couple of weeks. To keep things interesting we challenged ourself to connect one Lollapalooza headliner (Sam Smith) to another Lollapalooza headliner (Paul McCartney). The twist is can we do this using only other artists from Lollapalooza’s lineup this year? Find out below!
2015 has been a year filled many top artists dropping albums. We’ve had Kendrick, Drake, and Tyler to name a few. One of the leaders of the new school, A$AP Rocky has been one of the most interesting figures in rap culture throughout this decade. Coming up around the time of the Beast Coast movement, Flacko has grown to have the largest fanbase of his fellow new school New York artists thanks to songs like ‘Peso’ and ‘Fucking Problem’. As an artist Rocky has come a long way from his first L.L.A mixtape, and this album is no exception. With just the right amount of fashion brags and wavy beats, At.Long.Last.A$AP proves to be a great album that will surely be in consideration for album of the year.
If we told you Pharrell Williams, Vince Staples and A$AP Rocky were collaborating, you would probably assume it’s a new song or album. Wrong. “DOPE” isn’t just a word to describe these three artists but it’s also a new movie that the rappers all play a big part in. Executively produced by Pharrell, “DOPE” comes out June 19th on Open Road Films and stars Shameik Moore as Malcolm, with some supporting performances by Rocky and Vince.
A Sundance Film Festival favorite, DOPE centers around a high school kid who is juggling college applications, academic interviews, and college prep tests when getting involved with the wrong person (played by A$AP) gets him into a wild drug-dealing adventure. Beyond its rappers, this cast is stacked all around, and you definitely won’t want to miss out next month.
Watch A$AP Rocky’s newest video for his track ‘LSD’. The Dexter Navy directed (and A$AP Rocky co-directed) video is our first taste of the record, which is from A$AP forthcoming At.Long.Last.A$AP LP. And who better to premiere this one then Lil B The Based God, who shared the video on his Twitter. ‘LSD’s trippy visuals will certainly get you excited for Rocky’s upcoming album!

This week we have a new IAMSU! collab by Kyle, a A$AP Rocky leak, a track from Chicago’s rap collective SAVEMONEY, and a unlikely track from Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar.
A new track from A$AP Rocky’s forthcoming At.Long.Last.A$AP (A.L.L.A.) has leaked! The new track, which pays homage to Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘What’s Beef’ record of the same name, is fire. A$AP shouts out the Migos and P. Diddy, spits over a classic A$AP screwed hook, and definitely is a good preview for Rocky’s upcoming LP.
