Straight Mobbin’: A$AP Nast Drops “Trillmatic” Video Featuring Method Man

asap-nast-trillmatic-videoA$AP Mob proved this year that the group consists of more than just  A$AP Rocky as A$AP Ferg burst onto the scene with his debut album Trap Lord this year. Now the next rapper from the clique to break into the mainstream is A$AP Nast, and he’s released a new video called “Trillmatic” for fans which features Method Man. As reported by vibe.com:

“A$AP Mob’s next up to step out into the solo spotlight is A$AP Nast. The rugged ‘crack in the sock’ rapper pays homage to Wu-Tang’s Method Man on “Trillmatic,” which also features the Mr. Mef. With a 90’s vibe, generations collide on this throwback to New York’s glory days. This is the new chapter.”

“Trillmatic” was originally previewed as a one minute snippet and is a true throwback to 90’s East Coast rap.  Method Man is also the perfect fit for this collaboration as the beat has a similar  style to Wu-Tang’s RZA’s production sound.  As reported by theboombox.com:

“‘Trillmatic’ s a fun and refreshing throwback to ’90s East Coast rap, which is a rare feat for this Harlem crew.  Nast takes on the bulk of the responsibility with two stellar verses and a surprisingly dope hook (“I got a funky, funky style with a funky swag”), but it’s Johnny Blaze who lights up the track with an effortlessly acrobatic guest appearance. A$AP Ty Beats’ sample-laced, boom bap production proves that the true New York essence is hiding beneath all that Houston flavor after all.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
