It’s hard to get a track with ASAP Rocky.įki, they were there in the studio with us. I feel like this record right here will show the world and everybody that I accomplished something. It was a great, great look, and it’s a great, great record. It sounded 10 times better and everything. I’m like, “I don’t like this song, I don’t want it.” They played it again.
I’m like, “I don’t like it.” I think where I recorded it at, it just sounded bullshit. Zeke and Wayne could tell you, I didn’t want the song. I’m not like a Jay Z writer or a Nas, so I just go in there and do my thing. I’m more of a freestyle rapper, and more of a new wave. Especially getting ASAP on the record is a big, big look for me. “Pick It Up” was something very different for me. The track gives us an exciting taste of his highly-anticipated album, Dex Meets Dexter.Ĭheck out the song below, as well as our conversation with Dex on “Pick It Up,” working with the ASAP Mob, and what we can expect from his album. The song has a bit of a knock to it, and contains a familiar hip-hop sample: Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.’s “Nothing Can Stop Me.” Dex and Rocky ride FKi’s beat with a hurried flow, delivering some boastful lines underscored by Dex’s signature ad-libs, arguably some of the best in the game today. Today, Complex is premiering his new single “Pick It Up” featuring ASAP Rocky, which shows off his chemistry with the ASAP Mob leader. Together with burgeoning Brooklyn rapper Jay Critch, they dropped Rich Forever 3 over the summer, a teaser for their respective solo releases coming soon.Īs Rich has established himself as hip-hop’s social butterfly-collaborating with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Partynextdoor, and Justin Bieber-Dexter is building up his rep as a new wave artist who can make music with just about anybody. Rich the Kid’s protégé has vowed to bring a Wu-Tang Clan style of energy back into hip-hop, and that shines on viral tracks like “Drip From My Walk" and "2 Times." Dex’s work ethic is similar to Rich’s in that they both release music at an alarming rate. Famous Dex’s flamboyant personality stands out on every song he’s made.
