Rakim Athelaston Mayers was born in October of 1988 in the Upper Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem. In fact, his parents named him after the legendary rapper of the 1980s. Moreover, his parents’ names are Adrian and Renee.

His father, who is of Barbadian descent, was incarcerated for drug offenses when Rocky was 12. Afterward, he and his mother spent a short time living in a shelter before moving to Elmwood Park, New Jersey.

The rapper grew up with a brother named Ricky as well as a sister named Erika, who was named after DJ Eric B. Tragically, his brother was shot and killed near his apartment when Rocky was just 13 years old.

A$AP actually learned how to rap from his older brother, and he decided to take the craft more seriously following his untimely death.

Throughout his adolescence, Rocky sold cannabis before eventually moving on to crack. By the time he was 15, he was selling crack in The Bronx. In due time, she served a couple of weeks at Rikers Island for dealing drugs. Interestingly, he shared a cell with fellow rapper Casanova.

A$AP Rocky Net Worth and Career

In 2007 at the age of 19, Rocky joined the crew known as A$AP Mob. The hip-hop collective had been formed by A$AP Yams, A$AP Bari, and A$AP Illz. However, it would take Rocky roughly four years to begin receiving recognition.

That came as a result of his July 2011 release of his song Purple Swag. In the coming months, he dropped his track titled Peso and his subsequent critically-acclaimed debut mixtape, Live. Love. A$AP.

Around this time, he inked a two-year, three million dollar deal with Polo Grounds Music, which was later distributed by RCA Music Group.

A$AP’s debut studio LP dropped in January of 2013, and it made big waves. Superceeded by the hit singles Goldie and Fuckin’ Problems, Long. Live. A$AP debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

In 2019, the project reached certified double-platinum status for moving over two million units. Guest features included Schoolboy Q, Joey Badass, Skrillex, amongst others.

Currently, Rocky receives a whopping 20.7 million monthly listeners just on Spotify. Remarkably, that’s without releasing an album since 2018.

In total, A$AP Rocky has released three studio albums, none of which received the same praise that his debut project saw. However, he has proven to be far more than just a rapper.
