A$AP Ferg is showing off a different side of himself in his latest tease from his upcoming Always Strive and Prosper. De facto title track "Strive" has Fergenstein and Missy Elliott flexing on a house-pop groove.
Producers DJ Mustard and Stelios Phili's '90s-style blend of electric piano and digi-clap snare work support Ferg's carpe diem-leaning hook ("get off your ass and create your life"). He also drops off a motor-mouthed verse about his family pushing him to succeed more than drug-dealing Uncle Terry.
Missy hops on the back end of the track to say some prayers and weigh in on the state of her Auntie Jean.
You'll find the two rappers' family matters in the player below, courtesy of Stereogum, while Always Strive and Prosper hits stores April 22.
