A$AP Mob has announced that the 2021 Yams Day will be a virtual event live streaming on January 18, plugging the festival with a hilarious documentary-style trailer that finds A$AP Rocky accosting random people in the street to implore their attendance.

According to the video announcement, this year's Yams Day can be viewed exclusively online. A$AP Rocky also confirmed this years concert will include an awards ceremony called the "Yammys". Learn more at yamsday.com.

As is tradition, the event is hosted on the anniversary of A$AP Yams’s passing and will include a speech by A$AP Yams’s mother, who runs the Always Strive And Prosper Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to providing young people and underrepresented communities with accessible and realistic education about substance use and abuse.

The Yams Day tradition started in 2015 as the Harlem-based rap collective sought to pay homage to their departed founder A$AP Yams. Yams was instrumental in the group’s rise to prominence, helping to engineer the breakouts of A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg, and was referred to by them as “the mastermind behind the scenes.” Last year's concert, held at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, featured performances by Lil Yachty, Young M.A., Sheck Wes, Pi'erre Bourne, Kenny Beats, Nav, and more
