A$AP Yams death details
Born Steven Rodriguez, Yams played a vital role in the foundation of the New York hip-hop crew A$AP Mob, that helped facilitate the rise of both A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg.
Music career
Perhaps best known for his extensively updated and curated Tumblr page, Yams also managed to bring his ideas about fashion, music and tastemaking into the real world.
The New York Times profiled him, drawing comparisons between Yams and legendary hip-hop moguls like Puff Daddy, Damon Dash, and Irv Gotti. In the profile, Rocky calls Yams “the mastermind behind the scenes,” and Yams dubs himself as the Yoda to Rocky’s Skywalker.
