ASAP Rocky And J. Cole’s Murky, Alchemist-Produced ‘Ruby Rosary’ Is A Dirge For Their Enemies

J. Cole has been lying low for the past few months, but thanks to ASAP Rocky, he’s back with a vengeance. The two blog era vets team up on “Ruby Rosary,” a mournful dirge for their foes produced by The Alchemist. There’s a lot of wordplay on this record, which features a murky beat just subtle enough to give them a lot of room to work. The Alchemist had previously hinted that he might have produced for J. Cole, and while this pays off a bit of that promise, it’s still not quite The Fall-Off … which means there may be more on the way.

“Ruby Rosary” is the second song Rocky dropped after delaying his album Don’t Be Dumb . Before this, Rocky dropped “ Tailor Swif ” despite the record previously leaking and his promise to keep any leaked tracks off the album.

While Rocky didn’t give a reason for delaying the album, he did say it had a surprising co-sign; “I sat, and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f*cking with it heavy,” he told Billboard . “He was rocking his head and he’s like, ‘Wow! I didn’t know you made that kind of music!'”
