What in the everlasting fuck is going on with ASAP Ferg this year? "New Level" was a solid if not safe trap banger but this new track courtesy of Stereogum, "Strive" featuring Missy Elliot is a totally different beast. Produced by DJ Mustard—who has seemingly decided to sub in his signature "hey, hey, hey" and hand-claps with everything 90s house music—and Stelios, the song is undoubtedly the best motivational banger of 2016.Look no further than lyrics like " So get off your ass/ And create your life" and "Because you're missing opportunities. I know you rich in opportunities" to understand that Ferg wants the best for you with the best music possible. New album Always Strive And Prosper drops April 22.
