Although he’s a Milwaukee resident, rising emcee Reggie Bonds details the influence brought to him by A$AP Yams, who passed away early in the year. Today, he liberates his latest cut “Long Live A$AP Yams,” a remembrance of the moment he met Yams for the first time.
When I asked him about the inspiration behind the record, Reggie told me this:
The inspiration behind it was my homies knowing how much I fuck with A$AP and Yams and how much I studied what they did for the culture and when I do shit it’s always about my squad getting them better I eat they eat! And when I was out in NY just recent we realized how much culture power Yams and A$AP have on certain sides of NY the same me and my squad have back home an when I meet Yams about three years ago he told to my face I had a vision and to follow it, and when he died that shit shook me up like I knew homie for 15 years that’s how much effect he had and that’s the effect I want to have on the younger homies.
