A$AP Rocky Announces Album ‘Testing’ Is Complete With Abstract Art Instillation
by Karen
A$AP Rocky has been giving fans tons of new content lately as part of his new album ‘Testing’. A$AP took to twitter to announce the album was in fact done, and even did a pop-up art installation performance Sunday Night (May 20) at Sotheby’s called ‘LAB RAT’ to further generate buzz for the new project. The show acted like an interactive interview where Rocky is being treated like a “lab rat” and perpetually questioned while trying to “create”, it begins at (47:50).

A$AP told GQ
“People are scared to test new sounds, so they go with what’s current ’cause it’s the easy thing to do. The top 100 songs sound a certain way. People cater more to that because it’s a bigger demographic behind that, or it’s a guaranteed demographic behind that. I prefer to experiment and have my crowd grow with me and to reach new crowds. I don’t just rap—I actually make music. That’s why it takes time.”
During LAB RAT, Rocky unveiled his new collaboration with Under Armour.
