A$AP Rocky
The flashy Harlemite may have been named after Rakim by his mother, but he has so much more in common with hip-hop of the southern variety than the Golden Age boom-bap of his namesake. Nonetheless, Rocky and the A$AP Mob helped keep NYC rap on the charts in the 2010s, with a style informed by Houston with classic Uptown bravado. LongLiveA$AP, his studio debut, shot to No. 1 on Billboard in early 2013, and he followed it with At Long Last A$AP and 2018s Testing.
