A$AP Rocky Psyching Himself Up For Hometown Show
A$AP Rocky has spent the better part of this year traveling around the country, bringing his frenetic show to the masses. At New York's inaugural Catalpa Festival at Randall's Island Sunday night, the rapper returned home, a few miles from the Harlem apartment where he grew up. Take a look through our A$AP Rocky gallery, featuring both shots from his rambunctious Catalpa set with A$AP Mob and intimate portraitures showing the rapper's more introspective side.
