The discography of American rapper ASAP Rocky consists of three studio albums, one mixtape, 42 singles (including 25 as a featured artist), eight promotional singles and 31 music videos.
ASAP Rocky initially garnered mainstream attention after releasing his singles "Peso" and "Purple Swag" in summer 2011. Initially hesitant on signing to a major label, he eventually signed with record executive Bryan Leach's Polo Grounds Music (an imprint of RCA Records), after developing a close relationship with the fellow Harlem native. Both songs were included on his mixtape Live. Love. ASAP, released in October 2011 to critical acclaim. The record deal was unique as it allocated half its US$3 million sum Rocky's musical endeavors and the other half towards the development of his group, ASAP Mob. Rocky became notable for his music incorporating stylistic and production elements of East Coast hip hop and Southern hip hop, heavily utilizing the latter's woozy soundscapes, low/mid-tempo instrumentation, and chopped and screwed choruses. His lyrics dealt with themes about moral decay, including promiscuity and drug use, expressed through a boastful, tempered flow.
In January 2013, Rocky released his debut studio album, Long. Live. ASAP to critical and commercial success. It was preceded by the single "Fuckin' Problems" (featuring Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar), which peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his most successful single to date as a lead artist. In 2015, he was featured on Selena Gomez's single "Good for You", which peaked at number 5. Rocky would also become known for his heavily publicized romantic affair with Barbadian singer Rihanna, whom originally appeared in Rocky's 2013 music video for "Fashion Killa".
