Harlem-kollektivet A$AP Mob har haft hektiska månader på sensommaren med flera album/mixtape-släpp och en Nordamerika-turné som slutligen verkar leda fram till nytt album från A$AP Rocky. För GQ Style berättar han om skivan som är inspelad i London:
“My new album is really about testing new sounds. People are scared to test new sounds, so they go with what’s current ’cause it’s the easy thing to do. The top 100 songs sound a certain way. People cater more to that because it’s a bigger demographic behind that, or it’s a guaranteed demographic behind that. I prefer to experiment and have my crowd grow with me and to reach new crowds. I don’t just rap—I actually make music. That’s why it takes time. These sonics represent me.”
Skivan har spelats in i London och på frågor kring skivans release svarade Rocky enligt nedan:
Did you go to London for the sound of London, or was it more just getting away so you could focus?
“Both. London has a cool sound. I always record in London. But I needed to get away. London’s my second home.”
When do you want to put the album out?
“ASAP—no pun intended.”
This year?
“Yes, sir.”
