It’s a stark departure from just minutes ago. And right now, he’s in a playful and jovial mood. Rocky is extremely charming-magnetic personality, a perfectly chiseled jawline that hugs a perfect smile-when he wants to be. “Sometimes I say girl, sometimes I say boy. We gotta mark that one off.” He pretends to draw an “X” with his fingers on the notecard. Committed to playing the role of interviewer, he looks down at the white notecards he borrowed from me and pretends to examine his next question. So far, he’s asked me when I bought my white, hoof-like Martin Margiela boots, what brands my black jeans and leather jacket are, whether or not I have a boyfriend, and how long I’ve been with said boyfriend.

He was always about discovering new talent and trying to put new people on.' Additionally, Rocky reveals that we can expect a possible Kanye collaboration on the album, noting that they've worked on 'a lot of music' together, with some of it intended for Testing.“Have you ever cheated on your boyfriend?”Ī$AP Rocky and I are in a studio in Brooklyn for a cover shoot and interview, and he’s running the show.

Testing is set to be Rocky's third studio album but it is his first without the guidance of A$AP Yams, who has been remembered vividly since his untimely passing due to an accidental overdose.

With the album cover being shared recently, all we are waiting for now is a release date and further tracklist information. He has been teasing the crash test dummy theme on his socials and in posters around New York City for a while as it appears that Testing is finally nearing a release. While it was expected to drop last year, it was pushed back as the A$AP Mob member wanted to focus more on business. There has been much confusion surrounding A$AP Rocky's upcoming album for the last few months. A$AP Rocky speaks about his influences and making his first album without A$AP Yams' guidance.
