AceShowbiz - A$AP Rocky has unleashed a music video for "Riot (Rowdy Pipe'n)". In the clip, the A$AP Mob member becomes an army leader who is marching through the street.
Rocky and his soldiers wear matching outfits in the video, which consist of blue jeans, white T-shirts and white ski masks. Throughout the MV, the emcee can be seen rapping fiery bars while hopping on a tank and throwing a bunch of cash on the street.
As always, the Harlem rapper doesn't miss a chance to show support for his girlfriend Rihanna. In one scene, he shows off a tube bearing a Fenty Skin label as he spits, "Flossy, glossy/ Nah, b***h, this ain't lip gloss/ Luxe balm up in my palm/ New collab' with my baby mom."
Rocky dropped the Pharrell Williams-produced track on Thursday, July 20. He previously previewed the tune during his "Amazon Music Live" performance back in December 2022.
Of the tune, Rocky explained in an interview with Bazaar.com, "The message of the song is just modern-day punk. Punk is an attitude, not just a genre, and we wanted to cause some excitement." He continued, "We want to encourage people to rage at shows again. The purpose of music is that it's another extension of emotions."
"When you hear it, it should make you sad. It should make you happy. It should be nostalgic and make you recollect and go down memory lane," the rap star, who is currently expecting his second child with Rihanna, further elaborated. "This thing right here has that rebellious spirit, and that's what I deliberately wanted to do - just create a song that embodied all of those things."
"Riot (Rowdy Pipe'n)" and Rocky's previously released singles like "Same Problems?" are expected to appear on his upcoming album, "Don't Be Dumb". The set will feature guest appearances from the likes of Miguel, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Yachty and Thundercat.
