June 2nd was too long of a wait, so self-proclaimed "Pretty Flacko" rapper from Harlem, A$AP Rocky, decided to do a surprise release for A.L.L.A. yesterday, May 27th. A.L.L.A. also happens to be his second studio album and third full length project.
A$AP has had a rough start in 2015. First, with calling off his engagement with model, Chanel Iman and then passing of one of A$AP Mob's creators, A$AP Yams. In between the time, Rocky has been taking the fashion world by storm and exploring the world in more ways than one. During his travels, Rocky continuously immersed himself in different cultures and music. According to Rocky, psychedelic music was one of the ways of healing for him since the passing of Steven Rodriguez aka A$AP Yams. He stated in past interviews that A.L.L.A. will display new sounds and show the world that his musical creativity has grown from his last album and music projects. The new album features a variety of versed artists in different genres such as FKA Twigs, Juicy J, Miguel, Mark Ronson, Rod Stewart, Mos Def, and Bun B.
