While I have yet to come across the album while crate digging, I’ve checked out the limited edition vinyl photographs on Discogs and the vinyl release is lust-worthy for those who are both interested in the music and collecting pieces of physical art. If you’re interested in owning your music physically, Always Strive And Prosper is available on Vinyl and CD and that cover art would look magnificent on the larger vinyl canvas, reminding me of some of Seal’s albums such as Seal (II), 7, and Standards. However, if you wish to enjoy Always Strive And Prosper sans the explicit language, you can purchase the clean edition on iTunes. While I’m a proponent of explicit language in music, ensuring artistic freedom is maintained, if you’re listening on Apple Music there’s no clean version available. The Apple Music (Mastered for iTunes) release is spot on with an immersive soundstage and perfect separation between all musical elements. Subsequently, not knowing allows me to take a fresh perspective of the musical style A$AP Ferg presents on Always Strive And Prosper.Īlways Strive And Prosper is A$AP Ferg’s second solo release and is recorded, mixed, and mastered beautifully. Yes, knowledge of the artist can add a level of depth to the review and bring deeper meaning to the songs, but music is subjective and as such should be interpreted and given meaning to by the music lover. In fact, here at Subjective Sounds, music is considered an experience that should be viewed separately to the personal life and influences of artists. Well, I don’t believe knowledge of an artist is essential to expressing one’s opinion of the music on an album. Knowing next to nothing about A$AP Ferg, and the A$AP Mob in general, one must immediately wonder how I could even attempt to review Always Strive And Prosper.
