LONDON based singer/songwriter Joe Fox features on no less than five tracks of A$AP Rocky’s recent album. Fox explained how he ended up making such a huge contribution to the Harlem rapper’s album ‘At.Long.Last.A$AP’ in 2014.
Joe Fox was busking and selling his CDs on the streets of London. When, by a fluke meeting in Soho at 4am, Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky heard Fox sing, he immediately knew he’d found someone special. Fox played a melancholic folk tune with fable-like qualities and a rough edge, titled ‘Listen Up Katie.’
“Whose song is that?” Rocky asked. Fox replied that it was his own. Rocky immediately invited him to the studio. Their extraordinary collaboration began that night, with Fox crashing on the spare bed in Rocky’s hotel room. His already written original songs formed the basis for new songs and theyanchor a third of Rocky’s number one studio album. Joe Fox plays Dolan’s this Thursday November 3.
