1. Distorted Records
Prod: Delgado, A$AP Rocky and Nez & Rio
The first track on this album lets you know this is not traditional Rocky and sets the mood. Heavy use of bass is all that Rocky states he can feel. #11

7. Buckshots

This song feels like a filler but plays like a bomb. Mostly about bitches, bullets and buckshots. When I first heard it, I didn’t know it was Playboi Carti but it was. #10

Prod: Devonté Hynes
Feat. Sample from Thug Life and vocals by Devonté Hynes
143rd St was the street that Rocky grew up on and knew he had to give credit. Without the cold streets in the hood, he wouldn’t be the legend he is. Respect, put it on his name. #5

14. Black Tux, White Collar
Prod: Clams Casino, Tank God
Feat. Playboi Carti
Used to hate this song but it’s actually quite decent if I say so myself. I interpret it as Rocky saying that he’s leaving the best for last, dropping his best music before he goes out. #8

Well, here’s my verdict. TESTING is and will always be a 9.5 for me. Great production, amazing bars and features, mind blowing music videos paired up with Rocky’s music is unbeatable. Argue with a wall lol
