ASAP Rocky, J. Cole, & The Alchemist’s “Ruby Rosary” Sees Eye-Popping Streaming Debut

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky is apparently just two weeks away from finally releasing his highly awaited fourth album, DON’T BE DUMB. Genius is claiming that September 20 will be the day, which is nearly a whole month later after fans were expecting it on August 30. After being left in the dark about the delay, Rocky cleared things up, saying, “LEAKS & SAMPLE CLEARANCES ARE DISRUPTING THE ALBUM. ITS BEEN 6 YEARS & I WANNA MAKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER. IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT”. While we all continue to impatiently wait for it, the A$AP Mob member has been tiding us over with a slew of singles.

The most recent of them is “Ruby Rosary” with J. Cole and producing legend, The Alchemist. Out of all of the tracks leading up to the project, this could be our favorite one. The production is dark, mysterious, and grungy in all the best ways, and Rocky and Cole put forth some dizzying and hypnotic flows. As with most tracks this year, the record was generating some potential diss buzz with Drake being the main target once again.

ASAP Rocky’s “Ruby Rosary” Is Off To A Roaring Start

That could helping the streaming numbers a bit, but we don’t think Rocky’s concerned enough to send subliminals, especially someone he says he’s not worried about. “Ruby Rosary” is fantastic on its own without the “Drake stimulus package” and fans seem to agree. According to Hip Hop All Day, the single is already doing some pretty serious work on DSPs. At the time of writing, it has over 1.9 million streams and it debuted with 1.7. The hype is real once again and hopefully it will translate over to the album once it arrives.

What are your thoughts on ASAP Rocky, J. Cole, and The Alchemist ‘s “Ruby Rosary” raking in over 1.7 million streams in its debut? Will this go on to be one of Rocky’s best songs ever or just on DON’T BE DUMB? Is the strongest single so far? Does this get you even more ready for the album?

Did ASAP Rocky Diss Drake On ‘Ruby Rosary’?

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky said he wasn’t going to worry about his Drake beef on future releases, but fans believe they’ve detected some shade in his new song. “Ruby Rosary,” the new ASAP Rocky song produced by The Alchemist and featuring J. Cole, has a few lines on it that some fans believe are references to Drake and the ongoing friction between the two former friends. So…

Did ASAP Rocky Diss Drake On “Ruby Rosary?”

In his second verse, Rocky raps, “Who dared me to die? / You a dead man walkin’, like you barely alive / Cut everything but the family ties / Cut the shit, cut the lies, word to the wise / Who in your top five? / I don’t get fresh to death, bitch, I’m buried alive / I heard dawg talkin’ funny, like it’s Family Guy.”

One of the more obvious potential Drake references is “Buried Alive,” the Take Care interlude on which Drake invited Kendrick Lamar to rap, increasing Kendrick’s popularity early in the Compton rapper’s career. Obviously, the two stars’ career paths diverged greatly, culminating in this summer’s beatdown, wherein K. Dot cooked Drake repeatedly over the course of several songs.

In some of those songs, particularly “Family Matters” and “Meet The Grahams,” the two foes expended several lines referring to each others’ families, hence, a potential meaning for the “family ties” reference in “Ruby Rosary.” Of course, all this is circumstantial and thinner than a toad’s toupee, but after Drake bowed out of his rumble with Kendrick, bloodthirsty rap fans have been grasping at whatever straws they can, hoping for a crumb of conflict.
