While the A$AP Crew deals with the passing of Yams, leader A$AP Rocky has begun work on his next album and is making interesting collaborations for his next LP. He is reportedly working with FKA Twigs, Lykke Li, Clams Casino among others. Speaking to Billboard, Rocky said, "People really don't know the other side of me. The deeper side, the more musical side, the more intellectual side. When I first came on the scene it was more of this trendy, bourgeois, pizazz attitude. That's still me but at the end of the day I think that kind of overshadowed the whole purpose of me doing what I do. I'm an incredibly diverse artist, I'm a universal artist. At least that's how I see it."
