A$AP ROCKY AND FRENCH MONTANA GRACE THE COVER OF XXL MAGAZINE'S LATEST ISSUE

NEW YORK HIP-HOP IS BACK WITH A$AP ROCKY & FRENCH MONTANA

A$AP Rocky and French Montana cover the February/March issue of XXL. All 3 issues hitthe stands February 19.

From XXL:
'Rocky recounts how hurt he was to lose his father so suddenly, right on the eve of his album release and his subsequent rise. Rocky also talks about his parents’ love for hip-hop and their biggest influences, which helped him grow into the artist that he is today.

Before he was an artist, though, he was Rakim Mayers, a fashion-conscious, drug dealing kid from Harlem who rose to fame as part of the A$AP Mob and is now one of New York’s biggest hopes for a hip-hop comeback.

In the other cover story, French Montana, whose debut disc, Excuse My French, drops on April 16, XXL racked up a dozen pieces of interesting tidbits about himself, ranging from his hopes for the album and his relationship with 50 Cent to reflecting on the day he was shot in the head.'
