FERG is sticking by Diddy. Speaking with The Breakfast Club, FERG showed love to Diddy and his family after Charlamagne Tha God asked about the status of their friendship.

“Diddy is my family and I love his family,” FERG said. “I don’t know all of what’s going on with this case and everything like that and it’s a bunch of hearsay. 1000 bottles of baby oil? What’s that have to do anything with him being a bad man? He’s just a rich man with bunch of baby oil.”

The interview was in support of FERG’s highly anticipated album, DAROLD, via RCA Records. Marking his first full project since 2020’s Floor Seats II, DAROLD presents an intimate look into FERG’s life journey, honoring the family members who shaped him, including his mother, father, and grandmother. Named after his birth name, DAROLD explores his past, present, and future, weaving stories of triumph and hardship that define him.

The album’s artwork, a self-portrait painted by FERG, adds a personal touch to the project. DAROLD features collaborations with Future and Mike WiLL Made-It on “Allure,” Coco Jones on “French Tips,” and appearances from icons like Mary J. Blige, Dapper Dan, and Harlem’s own Alumni Ensemble. Through tracks like “Thought I Was Dead,” DAROLD solidifies FERG’s evolution, offering fans an authentic look at his influences and aspirations.

Asap Ferg & Denzel Curry Are Fending Off A Plethora Of “Demons” On Their Newest Collab

by

While we are still waiting on one of the A$AP Mob’s marquee members to deliver their album, another one of them fulfilled their promise. This weekend, A$AP Ferg put out his first record in four years with DAROLD, and it’s clear that the New York rapper was finding himself again. The Trap Lord penned a heartfelt and inspiring message to his fans on IG while hyping up the project. He talked about how he rediscovered his passion for painting and found a nice balance for this tape’s themes and messages. “Creating my first album “Trap lord” was an outlet for me being a young black man in the hood facing daily adversities. At one point I even felt like a “lord that was trapped.” Reflection led me to becoming more “Hood pope” the enlightened one but I found balance in just being “Darold.”

It’s pretty impressive how well A$AP Ferg was able to translate that idea into this album, and it shows through tracks like “Demons.” This Denzel Curry collaboration is the perfect embodiment of balance. Overall, it hits hard both in the whip and mentally speaking. The haunting synths and expressive background kid vocals add to the theme about shapeshifting demons that Ferg and Curry are dealing with. For them they come in the form of death, drugs, social media, and familial issues. The ambiguity allows for some clever wordplay, and they take full advantage of it. It’s another homerun from Ferg and Curry and we hope their relationship translates to a collab tape one day.

Quotable Lyrics:

Goin’ through drama created the trauma
That shit that’ll make you a demon
Psychological warfare, digital bots (Uh)
Algorithm on the Instagram (Woo), I’m seein’ nothin’ but thots
Demons that’s scared of the block (Block), I got to carry the Glock (Glock, yeah)
My uncle was a fiend (Fiend), he was married to the rock, huh

Ferg’s Chest-Beating ‘Thought I Was Dead’ Video Defies The Doubters Who Wrote Him Off

by

You’d be forgiven for thinking Ferg was finished with music after a relatively quiet last few years — but not by Ferg himself. His latest single, “Thought I Was Dead,” calls out the doubters who wrote him off, defying them with boisterous boasts about his current circumstances over a thunderous, threatening beat produced by Mike Will Made-It. The song’s video opens with Ferg rapping amid brassy instruments decked out in angel wings and a matching durag, but after a beat switch on the bridge, resets to more familiar territory for the Harlemite: The streets of New York, surrounded by homies on ATVs.

“Thought I Was Dead” is the second single from Ferg’s upcoming album Darold. He announced the album’s impending release with “Allure” featuring Future, while his latest update brings the official release date for the self-titled album: Friday, November 8. Meanwhile, he’s been busy as a featured artist this year, as well, appearing on “Hot One” from Denzel Curry and TiaCorrine, and lending an assist to NBA star-turned-rapper Jaylen Brown on Brown’s debut single, “Just Do It.”

With a new nom de plume, a slew of collaborations in the cut, and his comeback album on the way, Ferg is certainly proving those who thought he was dead wrong.

Watch Ferg’s “Thought I Was Dead” video above.

Darold is due on 11/8 via RCA Records.

Ferg And Future Reunite For Late-Night Studio Mayhem On ‘Allure’

by

Back in 2016, Harlem rapper Ferg (then known as ASAP Ferg) and Atlanta rapper Future hooked up to create an absolute monster — no pun intended. Their collaboration “New Level” absolutely flattened the hip-hop club scene, and still goes up at the function to this day.

Today, they reunited for another spirited collaboration, “Allure,” which attempts to recapture the chemistry that had every car in every hood blasting “New Level” at all hours of the day or night. They come pretty close, with a Mike Will Made-It-produced beat custom-built to knock the subs out of your speakers.

The song’s accompanied by a visualizer of the recording process, which took place in an unconventional studio setting. Ferg and Future dance under the mood lighting and mug the camera as their engineer makes the necessary tweaks to ensure maximum impact of those Mike Will 808s.

“Allure” is set to appear on Ferg’s upcoming album, Darold — yes, Ferg’s real name is Darold Ferguson Jr. In preparation of the rollout, Ferg has made his presence known a bit more lately, collaborating with both frequent rap partners like Denzel Curry and hip-hop neophytes like the NBA’s Jaylen Brown. Stay tuned for more from Ferg, including a release date for his upcoming album.

Check out the visualizer for Ferg’s “Allure” featuring Future above.
