This mixtape of his shows he has more to give, credit for which in no small part must go to Mr CC and the 'hypnagogic hip-hop' style he brings to bear on his own and other people's recordings.
We loved A$AP before, but we were worried his amazing track Peso was just that – a fluke, a stunning one-off. But we've been moved to finally write about him today by the excellence of his production for A$AP Rocky's new mixtape, LiveLoveA$AP.
The background: He's been around for a while, has 23-year-old Michael Volpe aka Clams Casino, as featured on the cover of Spin magazine's The Changing Face of Hip Hop issue alongside Odd Future, A$AP Rocky, Yelawolf, G-Side, Big K.R.I.T., Curren$y, Araabmuzik and more.
