There's an immediate feeling of creative abandon in the swell of subsonic bass that opens the record and leads into the messy, swimming "Distorted Records." Fragmented vocal samples, quick left-turns mid-song, and barely contained tape echo show up over and over again. Third album Testing pushes A$AP's experimental impulses to the forefront, expanding his boundary-pushing tendencies into the album's mission statement. Songs defined by murky, narcotic production choices showed up alongside the most by-the-numbers club bangers on 2013 debut $AP and its reflective 2015 follow-up, AT.$AP, had moments that bordered on dream pop. While his endless charisma and effortlessly confident delivery were the hallmarks of Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky's chart-topping songs, there were hints of budding experimentation even in his earliest tracks. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
