Steven Rodriguez, better known to the Hip Hop world as A$AP Yams has died. 

Details behind his death are currently unknown, but members of the mob such as A$AP Ferg, Bari and Rocky have spoken out on social media about their friend. The 26-year old founded the mob with A$AP Bari and A$AP Illz in 2007. After meeting Rocky in 2008, the group began to grow bigger and they found success after the release of Rocky's mixtape, Live. Love. A$AP.

Yams made a name for Rocky and the other members of the mob on his Tumblr page. In an interview with the New York Times, he credited the page to his success and called Rocky "Luke Skywalker" to his "Yoda."
