A$AP Ferg Champions ‘Honesty’ About Past Trauma On His New Album ‘Darold’
The 36-year-old rapper told 'The Breakfast Club' about the challenges of penning the candid verse.
On the Acyde, Daoud and Rodaidh McDonald-produced track, he delves into his personal qualms, rhyming, “Every day is like climbing mountains, feeling like it’s hell / T see I ain’t right, and my girl could tell.” He was also candid with The Breakfast Club about the song’s second verse, that explores sexual trauma he faced as a child. On the track he rhymed, “At ten I was drowned and touched when I was in the pool / All the breath left my body where I couldn’t move / Violated, hand on my private by a bigger dude / Seconds felt like forever, really wasn’t cool.” For me, it was weird and it was one second, but I was like, why?” He says he felt compelled to “dive in it and go crazy” by devoting an entire verse to what happened.
