TESTING

A fractured, psychedelic collage of industrial trap and hazy indie-rock samples. Rocky trades his usual polish for a gritty, experimental sonic laboratory.

It sounds like a trap album that got left out in the rain and then put through a particle accelerator.

A restless, avant-garde exploration of fame that feels both claustrophobic and expansive.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring, speaker-testing bass distortion that opens the first track like a sonic warning.

The transition into the Moby sample on A$AP Forever that feels like a sudden ascent into the clouds.

The haunting, skeletal flute melody that carries the rhythm of Praise the Lord.

The vulnerable, acoustic-led shift toward the end of the album on Purity.
