A$AP Ferg hits the ground running in 2013. News broke this morning that he just signed a solo deal with imprint Polo Grounds/RCA Records. Riding high from his hit single, “Work”, the buzz has finally reached a boiling point. Congrats to the A$AP Ferg and the entire crew. [AlLindstrom]

“I’m just proud right now because this is everything we wished and hoped for,” commented Rocky on Ferg’s signing. “A$AP Ferg worked hard for this and I put all my faith and backing into him. I feel like ‘Work’ is our generation’s “Sippin On Some Syrup” [Three 6 Mafia feat. UGK] or “Chickenhead” [Project Pat feat. La Chat & Three 6 Mafia], it has that feeling.
