ASAP Rocky has a glorious new single “Everyday”. The cinematic treatment finds ASAP Rocky floating face forward in a pool, followed by him being rescued at his Hollywood mansion. He is much older, deformed from plastic surgery, overweight, and adorned in jewels. This video takes place in the future. The main character’s story is told using flashes from his past. The clip backtracks to his younger years of hard partying and stardom. Rod Stewart, Miguel, and Mark Ronson star in this feature. Check it out below.

ASAP Rocky recently detailed his new movement in an interview with BBC 1Xtra, giving us an insight into the concept behind the Sophomore album, which we can already expect to heat up the streets, well..ASAP.

There is no doubt that the Wild For The Night artist has kept his upcoming plans on the down-low, so luckily for fans, presenter Charlie Sloth was able to squeeze a few secrets. Having surprised us with newly arranged features by; Mark Ronson, Rod Stewart and James Franco, we have now received the news that ASAP is not only applying dedication to his own work, but also the unfinished, quality productions by late partner; ASAP Yams.

The words of Flacko; ‘expect the unexpected’ are clearly applicable as he moves forward to explain:

“Yams started an album before he passed and he left his notebooks and blueprints, I’m just picking up where he left off. Me and him were gonna do the album together, he was working on a crazy album. I’m letting people know that if I do something good, the next thing I do will have to be great.”

A$AP Rocky builds further anticipation for his upcoming album “A.L.L.A,” as he finally blesses us with the coveted tracklist. Pretty Flacko is at the apex of his musical career and with the tragic and untimely loss of his business partner and brother Yams, (RIP) Rocky’s newest album is positioned to be that much more personal and impactful. “A.L.L.A” enlists the help of some heavyweights including Future, Kanye West, Juicy J, UGK, Miguel, Rod Stewart, (yes, Rod Stewart) Schoolboy Q, and the addition of Lil Wayne to the previously released “M’$.” Eclectic looking cuts like “Canal St.” featuring Bones and “Westside Highway” with James Fauntleroy are going to add deeper elements to an album that we’re sure is geared to once again push musical boundaries.

Nicki Minaj made history this week. After the release of “Anaconda,” she has officially topped Michael Jackson‘s record for most Hot 100 Entries reports Billboard. Michael Jackson had been dominating the chart with 50 tracks making it to the Hot 100 chart. However, Nicki Minaj is the new force to be reckoned with as off this week, she has 51 songs that made it to the chart. She now has an equal amount of entries as Rod Stewart. Granted, Billboard has changed it’s standards and now accepts featured appearances as official entries onto the chart, but you still got to respect her record. Kudos!

Made history today. I didn’t even know I was tied with Michael Jackson with 50 Hot 100 entries on… http://t.co/lUBSD4xQQN
