New York rapper A$AP Rocky has announced that he will play a surprise show in London this Friday (January 18) .
A$AP, who's debut full length album Long.Live. A$AP is released in the UK this week, will be performing a Proud in Camden.
His appearance will be part of the club's regular Lovedough night and the rapper will be performing alongside DJ sets from Dixon Bros and Super Hero.
But there will be no simple solutions when it comes to making sure you're at the show.
The tickets, which will only cost £8, will only be available on the door of the club, with no pre-booking option.
Chances are there will be a whole load more people left blocking the road outside than actually in the club, with A$AP Rocky a name on everyone's lips at the moment.
Long.Live.A$AP is one of the most eagerly anticipated hip hop albums of recent years. It was due for release in 2012, but was delayed twice.
When the album's tracklisting was finally released it included a contributor list that featured not just big names from the rap world, like Kendrick Lamar, but also artists as diverse as Florence Welch.
A$AP Rocky and the A$AP Mob crew have revitalised the American hip hop scene over the course ofthe last few years with a series of mixtapes and singles.
A$AP has been a somewhat controversial figure in music over the last 12 months.
Last summer he was arrested for brawling with a photographer, and there was the 'feud that never was' with Odd Future.

More recently the rapper called Rihanna a 'pothead' (but that's alright, because so is he) and opened up about his upbringing and thinking gang shootings were the norm.
A$AP Rocky's surprise appearance at Proud is this Friday (January 18).
We'd recommend getting there very early if you want the chance to catch the rapper in action.
