VICE has supported the A$AP Mob, the Flatbush Zombies, and the whole New New York hip-hop movement from jump. We've written so many damn articles and shot so many damn videos about these guys and what they're doing, we've kind of run out of shit to say for right now. So, when we heard Rocky, Ferg, and the rest of the A$AP Mob would be rocking Brooklyn's Public Assembly with Bodega Bamz and the Flatbush Zombies for Scion AV's Open Mic event, we figured it'd be best to just send fancy photographer Don Brodie to the show to snap some choice pics. Click through to the next page to check out more photos!
BTW, if you've been living under one of Coco's fleshy ass-flaps (lucky you!) and you don't know how amazing the new crop of MCs coming out of NYC are: Read, watch, and look at some of the best stuff we've done on the Mob, the Zombies, and Bamz over the past couple of years:
