Even without an official debut, rapper A$AP Rocky spent 2012 performing alongside Rihanna at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, playing Lana Del Rey's husband in the singer's "National Anthem" video, and landing a spot in a television commercial for the popular video game FIFA Soccer 13. For 2013, he's doing it real big with Santigold, 2 Chainz, Kendrick Lamar, and Yelawolf as his guests on this official debut. Production comes from the likes of Clams Casino, Danger Mouse, and Jim Jonsin, but look for "Wild for the Night" to think outside the hip-hop box with some help from dubstep superstar Skrillex.
