A$AP Rocky delivered his third studio album TESTING today after months of sporadic song releases. The project includes his recent single “A$AP Forever,” and boasts features from Kid Cudi, Skepta, Moby, Frank Ocean, Lauryn Hill, Kodak Black, and more.
“My new album is really about testing new sounds,” he told GQ last year. “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.”
