After his monstrous, critically acclaimed 2013 major label debut Trap Lord, Ferg solidified his place in the industry as one of the scene’s newest and most influential rap ambassadors. He was awarded the Rookie of The Year Award at the 2013 BET Music Awards, with his contributions to music being further validated by the likes of prominent music outlets: Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and Complex amongst others, who all named Trap Lord one of the best albums of 2013.

“Shabba Ranks” Feat. A$AP Rocky,” has been Ferg’s biggest smash to date, having amassed over 27 million YouTube views since he released it in the summer of last year. With his fame skyrocketing, Ferg gained the attention of indie music cultural maven, M.I.A., who quickly enlisted the A$AP Hood-Pope as the main support on her summer 2014 Matangi tour. He proved his versatility by crossing genres and appearing in a recent cameo for Chromeo’s video “Jealous (I Ain’t With It)” and flexed his ability to drop lethal features on tracks by everyone from Juicy J to indie rock female renegades, HAIM, and pop princess Ariana Grande’strack, “Hands On Me”. Now Ferg is determined to leave his mark in your city, teaming up with Los Angeles’ own YG, and re-announcing their updated BESTCOAST CONNECTION TOUR dates, finishing up Toronto and Boston with a new slew of dates recently added for January 2015.”
