A$AP Rocky’s New Album Promises a Drake Diss: What to Expect
A$AP Rocky is gearing up to stir the pot in hip-hop with his highly anticipated album, "Don't Be Dumb", which is set for release on August 30.
Fans are buzzing with excitement, especially with reports suggesting that the Harlem rapper will take aim at Drake in one of his tracks.
This marks the latest development in a long-standing rivalry between the two artists, filled with subtle jabs and lyrical exchanges.
Details about "Don't Be Dumb" were shared by Hot 97’s DJ Kast One during a recent segment on the "Ebro in the Morning" show.
Kast One disclosed that he had a sneak peek at several tracks on the album, describing the experience as nothing short of exhilarating. He mentioned:
"I heard songs being played. I heard Slick Rick [on it], That was amazing. I also heard A$AP Rocky definitely addressing a lot of the main topics that are happening out here right now. Let's just say, the list keeps going on strong."
Ebro pressed Kast One for specifics, particularly regarding the rumored diss aimed at Drake.
“So you saying Rocky is still on Drake's list is what you saying?"
He asked. To which Kast One confidently replied:
"Oh, he's going to be cemented on the list after this."
‘Don’t Be Dumb’ Will Feature A$AP Rocky’s Diss Aimed at Drake:
This suggests that fans should prepare for some revelation that could escalate the ongoing tension between the two rap icons.
The tension stems from a series of pointed lyrics exchanged between Rocky and Drake over the past year. It all began last November when Drake hinted at Rihanna in his track "Fear of Heights" from "For All the Dogs".
Rocky retaliated in January on Kid Cudi’s track "Wow," followed by a response in April through his collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin titled "Show of Hands." Each exchange has kept listeners on the edge, wondering how far the rivalry will go.
As the release of "Don't Be Dumb" approaches, the anticipation is palpable. Hip-hop enthusiasts are eager to hear how A$AP Rocky will articulate his thoughts and feelings regarding Drake, especially amidst the backdrop of their complicated history.
With the promise of clever wordplay, sharp punchlines, and impactful beats, Rocky’s upcoming album could redefine the landscape of their ongoing feud.
As always in the rap game, a well-placed diss track can change dynamics in an instant. As fans count down to the album's release, one thing is certain: A$AP Rocky is ready to make an impact. The world eagerly awaits how the battle of bars unfolds.
