A$AP Rocky premiered a new cut in Paris over the weekend backed by a full live orchestra. During Rocky’s performance at Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes, the rapper debuted a bouncy new single supposedly dubbed “Whiskey,” which comes complete with a Westside Gunn outro.

“What do you expect? / We don’t work, there’s no regrets / Only wish the best for you / Feelin’ like, you ain’t feelin’ like (Really that n****) / Kill the hype, b****, don’t kill the mic / I fear that they might kill you / Got me feelin’ nice, time to kill the lights,” he asserts on the first verse.

“Tryna get high as we can get and that’s how we exist / They never play like they overhear the kid, read his lips / How to be a pimp, uh / How to be legit,” he delivers, as the orchestra cathartically builds up to a close and the Griselda rapper’s signature staccato surfaces.

The audience cheers as Rocky raises his glass, and Gunn’s “boo-boo-boo-boom” wraps the performance.

Stream the full performance below.

“This sounds fire but it’s never releasing so idgaf,” one user wrote in the comments. Be sure to stay tuned to Hypebeast for more updates surrounding Rocky’s new music.
