A$AP Twelvyy and Sam Silver cross unlikely paths on ‘New Beginnings’

2020 certainly seems to be A$AP Twelvyy’s year. Though it has only been a few months since the A$AB Mob member released Before Noon, Twelvyy’s first studio record since his 2017 debut 12, this week the Harlem icon returns with a collaboration with producer Sam Silver. While Before Noon was an exercise in Twelvyy doing what he does best, synthesizing intricate wordplay and melodic delivery over hard-hitting mixes - as seen on tracks like ‘Daytona’ and ‘Baby Driver’ featuring A$AP Ant - this week fans are treated to an innovative and subversive track from one of A$AP Mob’s lesser-known members.

‘New Beginnings’ is a rare moment of introspection from Twelvyy. On this track he delivers lines like “Had to make it happen, took the whole day. Tryna make it home, I took the wrong way“ over Sam Silver’s lurching electronic bass patterns and ethereal and ambient melodies. This style of music is not what you may think of when you think about A$AP Mob, but A$AP Twelvyy does a phenomenal job of lending his efforts to Silver’s production in order to create a chill yet energizing track.  If you’re unfamiliar with producer Sam Silver, he’s a 17-year old powerhouse that has spent the past few months pushing out releases after his 2017 project DIRECTORS CHOICE. Some of his tracks have reached six-figure streaming numbers on Spotify, and it’s not hard to see why. After a brief verse where A$AP Twelvyy dwells on fame, luxury, and personal growth, the vocals contort and speed up as the track transforms into a thundering house instrumental contrasted with aggressive kick drums. ‘New Beginnings’ is just that for both Twelvyy and Silver. It is an embrace of change and success, working past prior personal frustrations in favor of a life of glamour, art, and paparazzi. It is hard to deny the talent of either Twelvyy or Silver, and given both of the artists’ demonstrated versatility on this track, weaving together hip-hop and electronic music styles, it may be fair to say this will not be their last collaboration.

You can stream the track on Spotify and Soundcloud now using the link below. Hopefully, this means we’re poised to get more music from the two artists soon, but if not, ‘New Beginnings’ will surely hold fans over until then.
