A$AP Rocky is a little over a week removed from the release from his latest album, Testing. Fans were eager to hear what Rocky had to offer on this project for a few reasons. It's the first album he dropped in three years and it's also the first album he's done without the guidance of A$AP Yams. Rocky didn't disappoint for the most part, although, it's safe to say that it is his most experimental project to date. One song in particular that was an immediate highlight was the Skepta-assisted, "Praise The Lord." Now, the two of them have joined forces for the official video.
A$AP Rocky and Skepta link up for the video for "Praise The Lord (Da Shine)." The single serves as the second video to drop off of Testing following "A$AP Forever." The video was directed by AWGE. The two of them mob through the streets and apartment hallways throughout the whole video. Rocky and Skepta pay homage to 90's visuals through the grainy footage. There's also appearances from several members of A$AP Mob and Skepta's Boy Better Know crew.
Aside from his latest visual, Rocky also made a major debut on the Billboard 200. His latest album, Testing debuted at number four on the Billboard 200.
