Tyrone S. Walker (born May 21, 1990), known by his stage name ASAP TyY (stylized as A$AP TyY), is an American rapper from the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. He joined hip hop collective ASAP Mob in 2014, from which he adopted his "A$AP" moniker.

He is known for his 2015 singles "O Well" and "Chamber Lock" (featuring A$AP Yams), as well as his 2016 single "Remain the Same". His debut mixtape, BEST KEPT SECRET (2016) contained 19 tracks and was released as a free download. Following the 2016 United States Presidential election debates, he released the single "Trump", a diss song aimed at the election's winner.[2][3][4]

In addition to music, Walker has also taken part in fashion, art, and street culture. An avid dirt bike fanatic, Walker popularized the Bike Life subculture of New York City.[5][6] Utilizing his platform as both a recording artist and dirt bike rider, Walker released his first art exhibit in 2014, as well as two signature ski-goggles.[7]

Musical career

2012–2014: Beginnings & A$AP Mob

By early 2012, TyY had garnered recognition as a biker on the streets of Harlem.[8] Utilizing his newfound platform, TyY would release his first track, a collaboration between himself and Young Money Yawn entitled "Comme Des Fawk Down", in early 2014.[9]

2015–2016: Best Kept Secret

Though he had created a following for himself prior to becoming a rapper, it was not until 2015 when TyY's rapping career truly began. In early 2015, TyY released the track "Chamber Lock", which included an intro from his friend, deceased A$AP Mob founder, A$AP Yams.[10] After "Chamber Lock", TyY went on to create his next single, "O Well" on June 2, 2015,[11] before dropping "Remain the Same" in February 2016.[12] All three tracks would appear on TyY's debut mixtape, "BEST KEPT SECRET", which dropped on April 13, 2016.[13]

After the premiere of his debut mixtape, TyY would release three singles; "Bust It Open" on September 21,[14] "Trump" on November 7,[15] and the collaboration between himself & BewhY, "Like Me" on December 28.[16] In early 2017, capitalizing on the success of his most recent projects, TyY would embark on his first headline tour; a 5-day, 3 country, tour taking place in Paris, Amsterdam, and London.

Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy

On August 25, 2017, ASAP Mob released its second studio album, Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy. The album was released by ASAP Worldwide, Polo Grounds Music, and RCA Records.[17]

TyY would be featured on the 8th track, titled "Get the Bag." The track also featured ASAP Rocky, ASAP Ferg, ASAP Ant, ASAP Nast, Playboi Carti and Smooky Margielaa.[17]

Troubles of the World

On April 19, 2018 TyY released his first mixtape/album, Troubles of The World.[18] The songs featured OG Maco, Lamont Sincere, A$AP Ant and Macca Wiles.[19]

Non-music ventures

Fashion

On December 16, 2016, TyY partnered with Brooklyn-based designer, KidSuper, to create a pair of dual-branded ski-goggles; with the ASAP Mob and KidSuper logos being featured on each side of the piece. The goggles were inspired by Bike Life's signature look of wearing them while riding his ATV through the streets of New York City.[7]

In the summer of 2017, TyY would launch multiple collections with a variety of brands. Most notably, during Paris Fashion Week, TyY partnered with Milan-based designer, Guntas.[20] The line was a marquee feature of Guntas' Spring 2018 collection.[21]

Bike Life

TyY is known for popularizing and leading the subculture of Bike Life, a Harlem counter-culture known for their love of ATV's, dirt bikes and riding them on the streets of New York.[5] The NYPD has expressed disapproval, as the vehicles are not street legal.[6] The group still continues to ride to this day.[8]
