How often do you get mistaken for Lou Bega? Do you appreciate the comparison?

I've never gotten mistaken for him, but I would appreciate the comparison.

Naw, you gotta get cozy bro.

When are we getting this forthcoming Ferg album?

Uh, soon. Release date is a secret right now. But ya'll gonna fuck with it.

You're kind of living every big fan's dream right? You were originally a huge A$AP supporter until they welcomed you into the mob. How exactly did them asking you to be part of it come about and what were you doing before that?

Before that I was in between jobs, and it just came about after I met them at a show. I started hanging out with them and becoming close. Rocky needed an assistant at the time and asked if I wanted to come on board and do that and I accepted.

Hows does Yams family feel about what your doing for Yams Day, and I personally think its a great way to represent the man? Also I really liked your guys mix on OVO sound the other day!

They are all for it - they love it, they are gonna be in attendance.

What's your favorite song that you've been part of?

What do you listen to when you go home and just want to relax?

Favorite album this year?

1 - I don't make music, but my favorite song that I've been in the studio to hear and to witness is probably Yamborghini High.

2 - Future and like R&B - R. Kelly, Ja Rule.

3 - This year so far, it's still early in the year, so not really. Nothing that's hit me yet.

First off congrats on everything you achieved so far, keep doing your thing. I have two questions. What can we expect from the Cozy Tapes? And is it still possible to get a ticket for Yams Day? R.I.P Yam$. Thanks.

You could expect that ol' Flaco, a lot of guest appearances, and you can expect that ignorant young turn up music. And a lot of exclusives from the Mob.

The tickets are all sold out - make sure you get your tickets early next year!

What's your favorite cozy clothing item?

My robe.

(Editor's note - that he's wearing right now.)

What were you thinking when you got up on stage with the mob for the first time in NY? Did you think that you would become part of it?

Um, I didn't think I'd become a part of it. I was just grateful for the experience to be up there.

How big of an impact did Yams have on you personally and the entire crew?

A huge impact - I was with him almost every day, he was like a mentor to me.

Why did you guys decide to make the concert 18+?

Cuz of the venue. Wasn't our decision.

Do you ever feel pressure to be better than other members of the A$AP mob?

Not at all. Everyone has their own thing.

What is the craziest thing you and the mob have done while on a tour?

Um.

When we were on tour with Tyler, we had a HUGE water fight backstage - throwing buckets of water on people, water balloons, ice. All the cameras got wet. It was crazy.

What's it like to be part of A$AP Mob?

It's amazing, it's fun. It's the funnest job I've ever had. I wouldn't change it for anything.

First of all, dope that you're doing this. You're funny as hell, I've seen you all up in the ASAP Rocky documentary series Noisey did.

Can you tell roughly when the Cozy Boys tape is coming out? Or is that top secret shit?

It's not top secret, but it'll be later this year.

First of all RIP YAMS the legend lives on. Is the A$AP Yams tribute album done or halfway done could we expect it soon?

Cozy Boy album is almost done. You can expect it later this year.

Who is one artist/rapper you would want to work with in the future? Any artist you've worked with in the past that was super fun?

In the future... ummmm Whoever's hot, ya know. Whoever I find that's hot at the time.

As for the past - all the Mob, anyone who's associated with the Mob.

Do you still connect with any of your old friends from before you were A$AP or is it strictly Mob now a days?

Ps I saw you at the Lowell MA show and loved the sweatsuit

Naw, I still talk with my old friends and I've got some new friends too.

FAVOURITE SWEATPANTS?

Oooo um - probably my Palace sweatpants.

So how did ASAP start and become what it is today? Did you all just randomly come together or how?

I wasn't there in the beginning, but hthe Mob really started with A$AP Yams and A$AP Bari, and just throughout time and just runnin as a street crew, the other members joined and it became what it is today.

Always work at it everyday. Make sure you're ambitious, don't ever stop or give up on your dream.
