“Angels” is a reminder of A$AP Rocky’s violent and drug-filled childhood and life before fame, as is much of LONG.LIVE.A$AP. Through his hustle — selling marijuana and then crack cocaine at 15 — he can now stand as a small-time drug lord. His ability to survive in dire times and come up as a prominent rapper have earned him the title as an idolized father figure for youngsters. The track also serves as a tribute to the young kids who traffic Rocky’s drugs for him, going as far as calling them his angels.
