It has been shrouded in mystery and test dummies have been at the forefront of the visual campaign, so how that relates to the actual music is a mystery. Fans are ready for him to stop testing their patience and finally release the long awaited album. Between features and compilation albums with the A$AP mob, there’s been plenty of Rocky music in the midst of the three year drought.

A$AP has received criticism for his music seemingly taking a backseat to other endeavors, which may feel valid, but in reality he has been fairly active despite not having a solo project. Rocky has been “Testing” the waters in a sense and after almost exactly three years, he has released a solo project to the world again in the form of Testing. Small hints and teases have been abundant, whether in the form of merch, tweets, interviews, or even mysterious drops on Soundcloud. It’s one of those albums that has felt like it’s been right around the corner forever, yet took forever to arrive. Testing is the perfect word to encapsulate the lead up and release of A$AP Rocky’s new album.
