Ferg is currently gearing up to release his sophomore album, Always Strive and Prosper via A$AP Worldwide/Polo Grounds Music/RCA Records on April 22nd. The highly-anticipated album will feature his current hit single, "New Level" ft. Future, "Let It Bang" ft. ScHoolBoyQ and "World Is Mine" ft. Big Sean and more. Noisey declares "given the strength of ['Let It Bang'], you can be positive that Always Strive and Prosper is going to potentially be the best A$AP release yet." Always Strive and Proper is the follow up to Ferg’s chart-topping 2013 release, Trap Lord, which entered at #9 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, #2 on the overall Rap Albums chart, #4 on the overall R&B Albums chart, #5 on the Top Digital Albums chart and eventually earned Ferg the “Who New? Rookie of the Year” BET Hip Hop Award. Lanez is fresh from a massive week at SXSW, with Hot New Hip Hop calling him “one of the highlights of the entire SXSW festival” and Billboard naming him an Artist To Watch, “L.A. Confidential,” a collaboration with Miguel, Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat, is currently climbing radio charts nationwide—listen here. The new track follows Lanez’ breakout single “Say It,” which peaked at #1 on Rhythmic and Urban radio charts, as well as #23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
