ASAP Rocky Returns with New Single ‘HIGHJACK’ Ft. Jessica Pratt: Listen

ASAP Rocky is back with a new single called ‘HIGHJACK’ which has been anticipated his fans for a while.

The trippy track features California singer Jessica Pratt and serves as the follow up to ‘RIOT (Rowdy Pipen)‘ which came out a year ago but failed to strike a chord with the audience.

“Yeah, bitch, fat ass, pretty, I might wife that
Niggas swear they pimpin’, Scottie sippin’, get your wife back
Ho, you know you trippin’, Flacko different, know you like that
Swipe a pretty bitch right off her feet, this a hijack”

.. he raps on the three minute long song which features a long singing outro. It’s the latest drop from his forthcoming new album Don’t Be Dumb. In June, Rocky announced that the album will arrive on August 30th.

Also interesting is that label p&c line on the song just mentions “ASAP Rocky Recordings LLC” with no RCA mention so he might negotiated a new deal. Listen to the track below.

UPDATE: Rocky spoke to Zane Lowe on Apple Music about the delay behind his new album and what we can expect.

“Sometimes my opinion on my taste, it changes and whatnot. Right. And I think for the past year and a half, it’s kind of like what mostly all of these songs are from in the past year and a half, but the duration of the past six years, things have been changing. We had Covid happen, we had situations with me and whatnot, and I just felt like right now is just probably the most time I got to kind of really kind of like just work on the craft and elaborate and execute on those and whatnot and those ideas. And this is the most perfect time, but my opinion changes a lot. And I might make a song and if I don’t put it out in a timely manner, I’m over that shit.”

He also said that being a father changed some things in his approach: “I think sonically, yes, a lot of shit changed. My taste preference for music and just different artists and just different genres, but it all has changed, especially the way it influenced the way that I make music and I put out music now and whatnot. I think it’s more meaningful. I got more to say. I got more personal vulnerable things to talk about and whatnot, and it’s just, I think the trick is having that fine balance of just entertaining and telling a story or giving something, telling somebody listening and view something informative about you and whatnot. And that’s kind of where I’m at now with just being a pop of two and whatnot and just being at the top of my game with just, design and everything, and film, and you name it, man, we’ve been doing it all. And right now I’m the catalyst for just all these just different endeavors and different talents and whatnot. And I think more so than never, it’s necessary. I’ve been looking at the music industry and looking at the playing field and whatnot, and it’s been a while. I’m really ready to put out a new project and just kind of touch the people again and touch on the people and whatnot and let them know what the fuck I’ve been up to this whole time.”
