The pretty motherf*cker known as A$AP Rocky has opened up to fans about his highly-anticipated debut album, his latest collaborations, and exactly what happened with his much-discussed Lana Del Rey collaboration.
Speaking with THE JUICE, Rocky first touched on his collaboration with Lana Del Rey which was originally intended to appear on Th Kickdrums’ Follow The Leader mixtape:
You didn’t know about me being a huge Lana Del Rey fan? That’s all I kept talking about all winter. I first had a crush on her from seeing her on the Internet– I fell in love with her voice the first time I heard it. I probably heard it in July, August for the first time, I think it was “Blue Jeans.” And from then on, I’m like…I love her! Mind you, we never even spoke to each other, and then in Complex [magazine], when she said I was her favorite rapper, I was like, ‘Oh fuck no, man. I gotta work with her! My dream girl acknowledges me!’
On the subject of his album and the other collaborations we can look forward to hearing, Rocky offered:
“I’m also working with Santigold, Pharrell, Hit-Boy — a few people, man. It’s getting crazy,” he says. For his collaboration with Hit-Boy, who produced The Throne’s “N***as in Paris” and Kanye West’s new banger “Theraflu,” Rocky says he doesn’t utilize his “usual flow that everybody’s so familiar with. I went kind of hard, but it was cool, it was easy. You’ll see.”
Still no word on when Rocky’s debut will arrive, but you can rest assured UTG will bring you all the details as they are made available. Stay tuned!
