ASAP Ferg – a rapper from NY, member of ASAP Mob
ASAP Ferg is one of the most mysterious members of a hip-hop band ASAP Mob and a talented solo singer. His real name is Darold Durard Brown Ferguson Jr. Darold was born in Harlem, New York on 20 October 1988. He was a big fan of music since childhood. The singer’s father died early, and he decided to continue his father’s business. The rapper sold clothing and jewelry. He also enrolled in an art school. In 2005, the talented young man presented his first collection. It featured unique belts, which were later worn by such celebrities as Diggy Simmons.
After trying himself in business and design, Ferguson decided to go back to his childhood dream and become a singer. Later, in one of the interviews, ASAP Rocky called ASAP Ferg an extremely talented musician, who had a unique skill to make money from scratch. Rocky helped Darold join ASAP Mob, which jump-started his career.
After recording several demos, which didn’t bring him an offer from any label, ASAP Ferg helped ASAP Mob record one of its mixtapes. The debut single “Work” reached the top-50 of Complex Magazine’s list. As a result, the young artist was finally noticed. The music video for “Work” collected over 2 million views.
