It’s a play off what he says about himself. “I be that pretty muthafukka, Harlem’s what I’m reppin..”
Rocky knows he probably shouldn't talk about Rihanna, the triple-A-list pop star, wildly successful fashion and beauty entrepreneur, and Category 5 cultural hurricane, but he can't help himself. As soon as I bring her up, he starts beaming like a teenager whose crush just accepted his prom invite. I could practically hear the angels singing. “The love of my life,” he calls her. “My lady.”
What's it like to be in a relationship?
“So much better,” Rocky replies without hesitation. “So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones.” New-world shyt, indeed. Rocky is among our culture's most unabashed ladies' men, but he says he's comfortable embracing monogamy: “I think when you know, you know. She's the One.”
For most people, the COVID year was a time of stasis, of hunkering down. But Rocky lives to tour. So last summer, for the first time together since 2013, Rocky and Rihanna went on a tour of sorts. The couple commandeered a massive tour bus and drove from L.A. to NYC, swinging south through Texas and stopping in Memphis and a half dozen other cities along the way. But they didn’t play any shows. Instead, they threw themselves into the tradition of the Great American Road Trip. They listened to the Stones, the Grateful Dead, and Curtis Mayfield. They stopped in a few national parks. Rocky dropped acid and made his own clothes, beatnik-style—sewing, patching, and tie-dyeing shirts and pants on the bus.
When I ask Rocky whom he met while on the road, he takes a moment to think. “I met myself,” he says. One can understand why: Not since Sweden had Rocky had this much time for himself. And he'd never been able to be so free and unburdened while with his lady. “Being able to drive and do a tour without feeling like it was an occupation or an obligated job agreement, I feel like that experience is like none other,” Rocky recalls. “I never experienced nothing like it.”

Most enticingly for A$AP Rocky fans, he recorded new music along the way. He says he's over working in proper recording studios, which he considers too big and boring. On the road, he had a mobile setup so he could make music as inspiration struck. “Work with what you got,” Rocky says of his scrappy DIY approach, a style of composing that has only increased his confidence that what he's creating is the best music of his career. “God blessed me with a lot, so I'm working with that, and that's enough to make some fukkin' fire.”
“It's all about the evolution,” he says of his approach to his long-anticipated new record, tentatively titled All Smiles. “If I'm still doing the same shyt with the same sounds and the same bars and the same visuals from years ago, what's the point? You got that catalog. You can go revisit that.” He says he occasionally reads what critics say about his music but tries not to pay attention to it: “I don't think that's really my concern. I'd be confused, man. I just want to make some good music, that's all. I want to feel great about doing it, and I want people to feel great about hearing it.”
Two new important creative partners are likely to be found on All Smiles. The first is Morrissey.
Morrissey! Rocky, it turns out, is a huge fan, and he's been working remotely with the Pope of Mope over the past year. The former Smiths frontman has been writing, producing, and contributing vocals to the new record, Rocky says. “Anything you need him to do, he show up and do.”
The second is his road trip companion. Though hesitant to reveal the extent of their collaboration, Rocky hints that Rihanna is listening to and responding to his new work: “I think it’s important to have somebody that you can bounce those creative juices and ideas off of.” Rihanna, he assures, has “absolutely” influenced the new music. “It’s just a different point of view.”
Rocky hints that the very fact of his being in a relationship has defined the vibe of the new material. He calls All Smiles a “ghetto love tale” and says that it's “way more mature” compared with his previous work, which in content is about as mature as anything coming from a 20-something who brags about their sexual conquests and sick outfits can be. When Rocky decides to drop the album, which he estimates is about 90 percent complete when we speak, it could usher in a radical new phase in his life: Rocky the romantic.
