ASAP Rocky, however, had more success as a solo artist after a series of mixtapes , whereupon ASAP Ferg also aimed for a solo career.
He had his first success as a solo artist in 2012 when his song Work was placed on ASAP Mobs Mixtape Lords Never Worry and was then listed as a single at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2013 . This earned him a record deal with RCA Records . This was followed by a remix of Work featuring Trinidad James , French Montana and Schoolboy Q and then the piece Persian Wine , both extracts from ASAP Ferg's debut album Trap Lord . The long player was able to position himself at number 9 on the Billboard 200 . In the following year he released another mixtape with Ferg Forever . The most famous song from it was Dope Walk .
In 2016 ASAP Ferg's second album, Always Strive and Prosper, was released . Led by the single New Level featuring Future , which reached number 90 on the US charts, it just surpassed the success of its debut and reached 8th position on the album sales list.
