Not one but two collaborations between Lana Del Rey and A$AP Rocky. Firstly we have the video for Del Rey’s track National Anthem, from the album ‘Born To Die’. A$AP plays JFK to Del Rey’s Marilyn Monroe. It’s a mighty fine video, encapsulating the sixties feel of her music. Then there is the Kickdrums track featuring both of them. Listen to that over at NahRight.
This is the first single off A$AP Rocky’s upcoming debut album ‘LongLiveA$AP.’ As you would expect ‘Goldie‘ is hard-hitting. The album will be one to look forward to.
This is a brilliant idea. ASAP Rocky and Lana Del Rey have collaborated on a new track. It features the lyrics “Pick me up after school, you can be my baby / Maybe we can go somewhere, get a little crazy.” Lucky boy. There is a preview video below, with in studio footage.

What a serious collaboration. Swizz Beats is on great form here, ASAP Rocky adds a lot to this with his verse, but its araabMUSIK’s beat makes this special. Superb collab.

Number 14: ASAP Rocky-Purple Swag
The signature track off ASAP Rocky’s debut mixtape ‘LiveLoveA$AP’ incorporated everything that has people talking about him. A seriously cool, heavy beat; spitting lyrics; a sick drop near the end and a video full of purple, his signature colour. Rocky is certainly one to watch in 2012. “Everything is Purple.” Next year it may be.
