“Everyday” was the first single released from the album before the album was released. Rocky acknowledges how the hustling and grinding lifestyle could end your life with one wrong move.Ī$AP goes out with a bang with “Every Day” and “Back Home”. A$AP’s risky actions could’ve landed him exactly where Max B is. Rocky lays out an anthem of grinding daily through a tough neighborhood, portraying the efforts to provide for himself by any means necessary. The unique verse instrumental combination of brass, woodwinds and percussions provide a multi-cultured feel to the song. Rocky did not disappoint as he came through with another superlative song that possesses a faster tempo than most on the album. As a result Rocky dedicates this song to him because of the cases he could have caught. Max B is a Harlem rapper whom was given a 75-year jail sentence for his crimes. The song in itself is an adventure musically, and definitely allows the listener to expand their imaginations. Most notably, the high-pitched, tenor choir in the background achieves a musical “wow” factor for the listeners throughout the entire verse, leading to Rocky changing his speed of rap until the end of the verse. Arguably the best part of the song is the second verse where there are additional instrumentals to the existing instrumentals. A$AP’s lyrics and verses in this song are some of his finest work on the album. The chorus is extremely creative with a plethora of special effects on the bass and secondary instrumental tracks playing in and out of the chorus to keep it fresh.

There is a mysterious tremolo violin tune in the background intertwined with a strings pad effect, which creates two unique sounds (among other minor sounds and effects) with a deep bass. While “LSD” is one of the best songs on the album, “Excuse Me” is even more impressive. The song was written with the intentions of A$AP collecting his respect amongst the rap community, saying “excuse me” as a metaphorical brush off to all of his critics. A$AP Rocky’s artsy heart was poured out into this song, making it one of the best songs on “At. Its brilliant transition from the high notes on the guitar or keyboard, to the dark bass notes, and specially effected vocals, gives the listeners an artsy, musical treat. Additionally, dark, low-pitched bass notes practically slap the listeners in the face with their harsh tones.

The slowly played notes on the specially effected guitar in the intro leaves listeners at a relaxed, trippy vibe. “LSD” is an impressively produced song that has a psychedelic influence to it. The change of beat (though, keeping the tempo the same) in the background of the song provides a nice flare, keeping the song fresh throughout, while A$AP raps about the hustle lifestyle that took place for him in Manhattan. Numerous instrumental tracks are produced together throughout the song, with a special effects piano played as the main track. “Canal Street” has a similar feel to “Holy Ghost”, but it provides more of a sophisticated tune. It’s a simple, yet very effectively produced track with meaningful lyrics and somber instrumentals. The church-like choir in the chorus finishes off the song with a message from A$AP pleading the Holy Ghost to help him. A$AP keeps his rhymes tight and meaningful throughout the verses of the song, portraying an image of fighting through life in a less fortunate environment. The multiple guitar tracks playing lead and rhythm intertwining notes, flows beautifully with the slow bass and drumbeats. The song has a very powerful, somber tone that keeps a serious mood. The central theme of the song is about the tension between selling your soul to the Devil for success and trying to maintain a clean soul at the same time. “Holy Ghost” is a title for the third figure in the Holy Trinity described in Christianity. A$AP” is an album that will leave listeners very satisfied, already looking forward to A$AP’s next album. A$AP Rocky, also known as: A$AP or simply, Rocky, has followed the trend of 2015 rap artists releasing artsy experiments, much like Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly.” A$AP Rocky’s “At.
