Rapper-artist-entrepreneur Ferg is excited to announce that he is joining the esteemed management roster at Roc Nation. The Harlem-born member of the hip-hop collective A$AP Mob has released some of the most iconic hits since he launched his solo career with 2013’s Traplord, the same year he was named BET Awards’ “Rookie of the Year”. From his follow-up album Always Strive and Prosper, to his mixtapes Ferg Forever and Still Striving, and his most recent Floor Seats series, he has released some of the most invigorating and bold statements in contemporary rap. His smash hit “Plain Jane” was certified 5x Platinum, while “Shabba,” “Work REMIX” and “New Level” have all achieved multi-Platinum status as well. Last year’s Floor Seats II release featured “Move Ya Hips,” with Nicki Minaj and MadeinTYO, landing Ferg’s highest charting single ever, having reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100. He’s signed to A$AP Worldwide/Polo Grounds Music/ RCA Records. Ferg has been in the studio over the past couple of months and fans can expect something special from him and The Neptunes on October 29th.

In addition to music, Ferg has built an enduring relationship with distinguished brands like Adidas, Hennessy, Tiffany & Co., and Snapple. Careful about his partnerships and protective of his integrity, Ferg pairs intention with creativity to blaze a singular trail through the industry. “I look for a classic brand that knows what their purpose is,” he says. Over the years, this has meant partnering and creating a cocktail with Hennessy, designing a line for Adidas, partnering with BMX brand Redline to release a bike and corresponding merch, and appearing as the first male rapper to be a spokesman for Tiffany & Co. Most recently he teamed up with Snapple to executive produce and direct a documentary which raised funds for the Bodega and Small Business Group in NYC.

He joins Roc Nation’s impressive roster of management clients, which includes Megan Thee Stallion, Big Sean, Lil Uzi Vert, Meek Mill and many more. 

“It has always been a dream to work with JAY. For decades I have looked up to the moves he’s made with his diverse range of business ventures but especially with companies like Roc-A-Fella and Roc Nation. His ability to build brands and create teams alongside leaders like Jay Brown is unmatched, and it feels good to be officially a part of the family.” - Ferg

From Harlem to the rest of the world, Ferg has manifested his creative vision across mediums, continuing a legacy that’s as deeply personal as it is historical. “I'm not in this game just to make money, he says. “I want to make art.”
