Formation and early beginnings (2006–2012)
Formation and early beginnings (2006–2012)
In 2006, Steven Rodriguez, professionally known as ASAP Yams, formed the collective with fellow New Yorkers ASAP Bari and ASAP Illz. Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky joined later. The "ASAP" name was always understood as the familiar acronym for "as soon as possible", but it has also been explained as a backronym for other ideas including "Always Strive and Prosper", "Assassinating Snitches and Police", and "Acronym Symbolizing Any Purpose", the latter reportedly the favorite of ASAP Rocky. In the summer of 2011, the group released music videos for Rocky's singles "Peso" and "Purple Swag", produced by ASAP Ty Beats. Rocky followed up with his mixtape Live.Love.ASAP in October, signing a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment that month.
