ASAP TyY

By early 2012, TyY had garnered recognition as a biker on the streets of Harlem.[7] 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.[8]

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.[9] After "Chamber Lock" , TyY went on to create his next single, "O Well" on June 2, 2015,[10] before dropping "Remain the Same" in February 2016.[11] All three tracks would appear on TyY's debut mixtape, "BEST KEPT SECRET", which dropped on April 13, 2016.[12]

After the premiere of his debut mixtape, TyY would release three singles; "Bust It Open" on September 21,[13] "Trump" on November 7,[14] and the collaboration between himself & BewhY, "Like Me" on December 28.[15] 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.

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.[16]

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.[16]

On April 19, 2018 TyY released his first mixtape/album, Troubles of The World.[17] The songs featured OG Maco, Lamont Sincere, A$AP Ant and Macca Wiles.[18]

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.[6]

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.[19] The line was a marquee feature of Guntas' Spring 2018 collection.[20]

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.[4] The NYPD has expressed disapproval, as the vehicles are not street legal.[5] The group still continues to ride to this day.[7]
