Pittsburgh hip hop artist AF Rome proudly presents his full-length debut, The Application. The free album is a fun, feel-good ride with excellent production and substantial lyrics.

A successful corporate job holder, R.A.R.E. Nation's AF Rome boasts a college degree as well as the discipline and work ethic necessary to flourish in any environment. His message emphasizes a life of luxury and fashion, but not in the disillusioned sense most artists fall for. He stresses that everything you want in life, you have to work for yourself to create. Using rhymes centered on feel-good vibes, his strength comes from providing substance bar for bar while maintaining an easy listening experience.
