A$AP Rocky enlisted Jessica Pratt for his surprise single “HIGHJACK,” which many fans presume will join his highly-anticipated upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb.
The three-minute cut — which arrives on the first birthday of his and Rih’s son Riot Rose — features production from Greg Kurstin, Jordan Patrick, Zach Fogarty and Hitkidd, and is reminiscent of Rocky’s earlier work with his fusion of melodic raps and dynamic sonic backdrop. “I feel like the real is back man, and it’s just like, this shit is for the taking. It’s a hijack,” he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “Not only that, it’s just we coming with a whole new aesthetic on everything, especially with German expressionism and the whole ghetto futurism grim thing. So that’s just what the sound sounds like and whatnot. The sonics of it.”
He added, “I’ve been working on this stuff, this material for a while now, tweaking it and fixing it and whatnot. So this was just one of the ones that we decided to, it was the summer and here we are. Shot a visual and yeah, this is part of the new saga.”
