    About This Song

    ASAP Rocky dropped "Fashion Killa" as the fourth single from his debut album Long. Live. ASAP on November 22, 2013. The track is a slow-burning cloud rap anthem that name-drops over 40 designer labels, from Rick Owens and Maison Martin Margiela to Raf Simons and Visvim. Rocky delivers his verses in a relaxed, melodic flow over a looped sample of Mary Jane Girls' "Walking," creating a dreamy, luxurious soundscape that feels less like a song and more like a stroll through a high-end boutique.

    Produced by Hector Delgado, Finatik N Zac, and Rocky himself under the alias Lord Flacko, the track became a signature moment in his early career. It peaked at number 105 on the Billboard Hot 100 but found stronger footing on genre charts, reaching number 33 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number 16 on Rhythmic. The RIAA certified it Platinum in the US, and the BPI gave it a Silver certification in the UK.

    Critics praised its effortless cool, with Pitchfork noting how it solidified Rocky's image as a style icon. Some called the brand-dropping superficial, but most agreed it was a standout on the album. The song earned a nomination for Best Video at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards. Its influence rippled through hip-hop, helping to popularize the trend of rappers weaving luxury fashion into their lyrics. Fashion editors still use it in show playlists and editorial spreads.
