Diandra Reviews It All

The irony of A$AP Ferg’s mixtape, Still Striving, is that, to most us, he has made it. Fame, fortune, and art define his life as he travels the world with the A$AP Mob, and is admiringly referred by fans as the Trap Lord. Mixing deep house and trap waves with Hip Hop has given Ferg a distinctive and attractive sound. His music feels like what you play to pre-game before a major game, but Still Striving is about what happens after you won.

The follow-up to the critically acclaimed album Always Strive And Prosper, continues Ferg’s quest to find meaning to his success. Most us dream of our dreams, but Ferg has accomplished them, and is lyrically observing that “the journey” brought him more sense of worth than the actual destination. Such an idea makes sense! How many movies about the artist “trying to make it” have a sequel or, at least, twenty minutes of the film dedicated to their new life in fame? Money and global praise is the goal, which is why tracks like “Trap And A Dream feat. Meek Mill”, “What Do You Want feat. Nav”, and “Coach Cartier feat. Famous Dex” revel in the luxury and suspense of “having it all”. It is clear that Ferg has no problems with fame or his association with other acclaimed names like in, “East Coast REMIX feat. Busta Rhymes, A$AP Rocky, Dave East, French Montana, Rick Ross & Snoop Dogg”. Every single one of those names has undergone the “spiritual struggle” Ferg undergoes in reveling in success, but feeling like, “Where next?” For Ferg, it is inward, and when he is not partying with in “Nasty (Who Dat) feat. Migos” or “Aww Yeah feat. Lil Yachty”, he is observant of his glory like in “Olympian feat. Dave East” and “Rubber Band Man feat. Cam’ron”. Again, the album can be torn between celebratory verses exalting excess, and other ones that reveal it for its emptiness. Sure, Ferg can now “have it all”, but he is still striving to feel all that he has, and he goes through this journey with high quality, beat production.

How could Still Striving NOT have good tracks to bounce with? A$AP Mob is unarguably creating the hits people dance to and blast on their radio. Thus, I KNOW people will vibe with songs, “Mad Man feat. Playboi Carti” or “Plain Jane”, and they will, definitely, be blasted in every collage campus around the world. You simply cannot defeat the earful of pleasure that comes with hearing dark, smooth trap electronica beat, base, bam, and boom as A$AP Ferg’s baritone rap flow goes through tracks like an erratic pulse; for however stable he tries to find himself, there is always an awaiting shock to his system. He knows how to spit verses with a balanced style of calm and calamity, which makes emotional sense for a man dealing with fame.
