With so many changes around the world hindering live concerts, A$AP Ferg has decided to partner up with MelodyVR to bring to your screens for the first time, a live performance of tracks from the new album Floor Seats II . See press release below…
“Rapper, producer, and songwriter A$AP Ferg will be performing hits from his new album, Floor Seats II for the first time ever on MelodyVR for its Live from LA series, this October 22nd at 6pm PST / 9pm EST / 2am + 1 day BST on the MelodyVR app.
Fans around the world will be transported to the music platform’s state-of-the-art Los Angeles studio space to join the exclusive immersive performance. Viewers can choose their camera position within the app, and virtually jam to hits including “Move Ya Hips”, “Marilyn Manson” and “Hectic” on any smartphone or VR headset.
“This is the first performance I have done since the pandemic started, and I will be performing Floor Seats II live for the first time ever,” said Ferg. “My concert with MelodyVR is allowing me to get super close with my fans – I get to talk to them and walk them through each song – that’s why this is different than any other performance. I am bringing the club to your living room or kitchen – I want to see you turn up in the kitchen!”
A$AP Ferg released Floor Seats II on September 25th and the project has already made history: “Move Ya Hips”, with Nicki Minaj and MadeinTYO, is Ferg’s highest charting single ever, having reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Floor Seats series is designed to put you courtside for Ferg’s life. The first installment was released in 2019 and this next chapter takes the basketball concept to a new level, with NBA stars past and present doing drops across the project. Jaylen Brown, Damian Lillard, and JaVale McGee are all in the mix, demonstrating the powerful relationship between basketball and hip hop. Other album guests include Diddy, Marilyn Manson, Tyga, Mulatto, Lil Wayne, Jay Gwuapo, Antha Pantha, Nicki Minaj, MadeinTYO, and Fivio Foreign. Floor Seats II is out now via A$AP Worldwide/Polo Grounds/RCA Records available HERE.
