In August 2012, the collective released the mixtape Lords Never Worry. They released the single "Trillmatic" in December 2013, followed by their debut studio album, Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends, in October 2016 and second studio album Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy in August 2017.

History

Formation and early beginnings (2006–2012)

In 2006, Steven Rodriguez, professionally known as ASAP Yams, formed the collective with fellow New Yorkers ASAP Bari and ASAP Illz. Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky joined later. The "ASAP" name was always understood as the familiar acronym for "as soon as possible", but it has also been explained as a backronym for other ideas including "Always Strive and Prosper", "Assassinating Snitches and Police", and "Acronym Symbolizing Any Purpose", the latter reportedly the favorite of ASAP Rocky. In the summer of 2011, the group released music videos for Rocky's singles "Peso" and "Purple Swag", produced by ASAP Ty Beats. Rocky followed up with his mixtape Live.Love.ASAP in October, signing a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment that month.

The album title was then changed to L.O.R.D. On January 13, 2014, the single "See Me" by ASAP Ant was released.
