A$AP Rocky on Monday (July 23, 2018) dropped “AWGE DVD Vol. 3,” a short film and the latest installment in a series of music-anchored visuals produced by AWGE, the Harlem rapper’s creative platform.
The 48-minute short is comprised of a slew of lo-fi short clips documenting the antics of Tyler the Creator, FKA Twigs, Lil Uzi, Jaden Smith, A$AP Ferg, Playboi Carti, Skepta, Moby and XXXTentacion among many others. Footage includes a clip of Kanye West (16:29) in a studio where he’s shot mixing and freestyling.
Basically, it’s a rap bro extravaganza in that you can count the number of female creatives (as opposed to the ones used as props) on less than one hand.
Also on Monday, A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator shared “Potato Salad, a single referencing Monica’s 2003 hit “Knock Knock.” Shot in Paris, the video includes an appearance by Jaden Smith.
The end of the video includes Rocky and Tyler’s collaborative WANG$AP logo and the words “coming soon,” implying further efforts. However, Tyler weighed in on Twitter, where he wrote, “ima kill rocky for that idk whats coming soon or not dont get yo hopes up nigga just be excited but enjoy it ( knock knock by monica i was tryna rap on that for 10 years ha)”
Check out both visuals below.
