A$AP Ferg Celebrates Giving Back To Harlem With A Soulful Single (Audio)

A$AP Ferg recently released his latest single “Brag.” It comes in partnership with Adidas, who is helping the A$AP Mob rapper give back to his native section of Harlem. The partnership will help refurbish a running track near the neighborhood where Ferg grew up.

As for “Brag,” the Frankie P-produced track, encompasses horns, a harp, and a killer Donald Byrd trumpet sample. The lyrics, no surprise, bring out Ferg’s braggadocio side, which is nothing new for any Harlem MC. “Real ni**a, I deserve to brag a bit, I’m talented / Adidas deal immaculate, pick my own fabrics,” he raps on the track after revealing how his struggle led to his current-day extravagant lifestyle. “Tales From The Crypt came on, I had my eyes closed,” he raps. “I still hear the burns at the end of my mama corn rows / Stomach growlin’ like a tiger, ain’t much to say about it / Drawer full of duck sauce packets, I made a sandwich out it.

I hold it dear to me,” he said recently in conjunction with promoting his newest fashion collaboration, care of XXL. “It’s a place that I experienced growing up and I just never really wanted to leave. Being in a position to give back to people in Harlem, that means so much.”
