Writer Jeff Ihaza sits down with ‪@ASAPROCKYUPTOWN‬ in Red Hook as he reflects on #dontbedumb, fatherhood, fashion, Harlem, and the world he helped build. At 37, Rocky is preparing for his first #tour since 2019’s run, a return to the stage that he sees as both an act of discipline and celebration. He talks about the preparation that goes into touring, the left turns on his new album, and why he’s not interested in giving listeners "McDonald’s" anymore. Rocky also opens up about raising three children with ‪@rihanna‬ and how family has changed the way he records. More than a decade after 'Live. Love. ASAP,' Rocky sounds less interested in nostalgia than in figuring out what comes next.
