In an interview with the London Evening Standard, A$AP Rocky reveals that he’s been busy working on his new album. “I’m just… I express myself way better when I’m in an environment that allows me to be,” Rocky reveals when asked why it was so special to work in London. “When I’m here, for the most part, I’m in a peaceful, creative environment and I’m testing the waters and making new music, messing around with new sounds and anything that’s innovative.” He reveals that he’s “been in the studio, just that, nothing else” and that he doesn’t “even leave” because it’s in his room.

Rocky confirmed that Skepta will be on his “futuristic” new album. As for what’s new, the Harlem rapper shares: “They’ve been missing me, they’ve been waiting for me, they need some new music, they need some new sounds, new waves, new swag, new everything. And who’s the man you go to for that? Yours truly. So I’m back, like I never left.”

Rocky also talks about the influence of LSD in his life. “Oh trust me,” Rocky said. “I love it. Yeah. I just dropped yesterday!” Read the full interview via London Evening Standard.
