In a much-anticipated return, ASAP Rocky has unveiled his latest single, “HIGHJACK,” featuring folk artist Jessica Pratt. After a prolonged hiatus from releasing new music—his last album dropping in 2018 and his previous single in July 2023—Rocky’s upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, set to release on August 30, has generated significant buzz. The new single suggests the wait has been worthwhile.
“HIGHJACK” combines Rocky’s distinctive sound with Pratt’s folk-influenced pop, creating a compelling blend of genres. Pratt, celebrated for her soulful and introspective style, delivers a memorable chorus that complements Rocky’s performance without overshadowing it.
ASAP Rocky takes the lead with his trademark confidence, delivering bars that reflect both his cloud rap roots and his journey over the past decade. He takes playful jabs at his rivals and reminisces about his rise to prominence. Notably, his lyrics include a nod to the Future and Metro Boomin track “Like That,” hinting at his ongoing feud with Drake. Lines such as, “Catch me on the block, not the web, this ain’t Minecraft,” and “N**gas want a feature from me? This ain’t a life raft,” showcase Rocky’s lyrical prowess and his knack for blending introspection with bravado.
Some Bad Lyrics:
Yeah, b*tch, fat a*s, pretty, I might wife that
N**gas swear they pimpin’, Scottie sippin’, get your wife back
H*, you know you trippin’, Flacko different, know you like that
Swipe a pretty b*tch right off her feet, this a hijack
