Brown Ferguson Jr., known by his stage name, A$AP Ferg, is an American artist from Harlem, New York most known for his rapping and songwriting abilities. Ferg was born on October 20, 1988, in Harlem, NY to Trinidadian parents. His father, Darold Ferguson, owned a Harlem boutique and printed shirts and designed logos for record labels; including designing the Bad Boys records logo. Before starting his music career, A$AP Ferg was heavily into art and design. Inspired by his father, who died of kidney failure, he ended up studing fashion and fine arts at the High School of Art & Design. While in school, Ferg began launching his “Devoni Clothing”, through which he designed and distributed high-end belts, which had been worn by Chris Brown and Swizz Beatz before his rap fame. A founding member of Harlem’s A$AP Mob, A$AP Ferg and A$AP Rocky were originally planned to be the dynamic duo from the A$AP Mob, but they found more success as solo artists, beginning with Ferg’s first major hit “Work” landed as the main single for the A$AP mob tape “Lords Never Worry”. After signing with RCA in 2013, “Work Remix” debuted featuring Schoolboy Q, Trinidad James and French Montana. The Platinum record “Work Remix” and “Shabba Ranks” were Ferg’s stand out songs for his debut project “Trap Lord” that was mostly composed of a dark cinematic sound that he created with his longtime producer Frankie P. His first album also allowed him to pay respect to his fashion roots as he collaborated with Bape and Trap Lord, (his clothing company that carries the same name as his debut album, that he started from saving up his per diem money from his fisrt tour he was on with the A$AP Mob and Drake) to create a Bape Trap Lord T-shirt in commemoration of the album dropping. 2014 brought the arrival of his new mixtape Ferg Forever hosted by DJ Drama which had the 2015 hit “dope walk” on it. A year later new level featuring Future debuted as the lead single for his next project “Always Strive and Prosper.” The record ended up going platinum and solidified A$AP Ferg’s penchant for making hit records. Following the success of new level, his next record off of “Still Striving” would be his biggest solo record to date, Plain Jane released in 2017 and has got 3x platinum. 2018 saw the release of A$AP Mob’s Cozy Tapes, Vol. 2, which landed number six on the Billboard 200 with A$AP Ferg playing a key role on the compilation album. In 2019, A$AP Ferg has been flexing his business muscle as he’s recently released a bicycle with Redline Bikes, signed deals with Tiffany & Co., Hennessy, Adidas, G-Shock, and Revlon, all while prepping for release of two new projects on the way. w/ Support From ➤ Murda Beatz murdabeatz.com soundcloud.com/murdabeatz facebook.com/MurdaBeatzz/ twitter.com/MurdaBeatz_ instagram.com/murdabeatz Canadian hip-hop producer Murda Beatz went from teaching himself music programming to making beats for Gucci Mane and Drake. He was born Shane Lindstrom in 1994. Growing up in Fort Erie, Ontario, Lindstrom played drums from an early age and would often jam with his family, being encouraged by his rock music enthusiast father to pursue music. At age 17 he began teaching himself production, making beats in his bedroom and selling his rock equipment to buy music production gear. He quickly found placements for his beats and ravenously pursued rappers with his material, contacting Atlanta rappers Migos before their rise to fame. Socially energetic and always networking, Lindstrom connected with many rappers, eventually working with names as big as Drake, PartyNextDoor, French Montana, and Gucci Mane. Along with producing for some of the biggest names in rap, Murda Beatz released solo material as well, beginning with his 2016 mixtape Keep God First, featuring guest spots from 2 Chainz, Playboi Carti, Offset, and many other top-shelf MCs. Bless Yo Trap, a collaborative mixtape with Smokepurpp, arrived in April of 2018, and included guest features from Lil Yachty and A$AP Ferg. ➤ MadeinTYO sincerelytokyo.com soundcloud.com/madeintyo facebook.com/Madeintyo twitter.com/madeintyo instagram.com/madeintyo youtube.com/channel/UCd8yaXFD449WbtKVN3T6G4g MadeinTYO doesn’t have a typical rapper backstory. As the son of a Naval Officer, he moved frequently – traveling from base to base – until his family landed in Tokyo for the duration of his high school years. Inspired by his brother, artist 24hrs, MadeinTYO drew from the foreign culture around him and began to take music seriously. He uploaded his first song to Soundcloud at the age of 22, and a movement was born. MadeinTYO has managed to carve out a spot for himself amongst this new generation of rappers with his mixtapes You Are Forgiven and Thank You, Mr. Tokyo. His debut single "Uber Everywhere" shot up the radio charts, landing in the top 10 and achieving double platinum certification from the RIAA. The internet started to buzz. With over a billion streams, MadeinTYO caught the attention of hip-hop’s biggest tastemakers including Complex, the FADER, Noisey and earning him a spot as a member of XXL’s 2017 Freshmen class. All of this momentum leaves MadeinTYO poised to become one of the biggest names in hip hop with the release of his debut album Sincerely, Tokyo. The new album is led by standout single “Ned Flanders” feat. A$AP Ferg, which has racked up over 70 million streams to date. _________________________________________________ Skyway Theatre | The Loft at Skyway Theatre | Studio B | Bar Fly Minneapolis 711 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403 www.skywaytheatre.com Show Questions?
