It’s crazy, I be forgetting I rap,” A$AP Ant explained to us during a 2017 interview. “I was out in Miami for Art Basel and we had this little Cozy Boy/A$AP party and I saw people performin’ — plus, I just came from the VLONE pop-up with the Marino release — and then it hit me — man I’m a rapper, why am I not performing on that stage right now? But still, when I see myself making money, at the end of the day I still gotta rap. In the music, it’s really more all me. With Marino, I got a team of people — web designer, etc. They all do different things.”
