Over the weekend, A$AP Rocky dropped "In Distress," a collaboration with French electronic producer Gesaffelstein. Taken from the soundtrack of the upcoming science fiction flick
Divergent, Gesaffelstein provides Rocky with a murky, industrial beat to rhyme over, and the results are good... but not great.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this tune, but it could have been so much more. Gesaffelstein's dark, moody production suits Rocky's grimy raps, but the A$AP Mob leader lacks urgency with his delivery, turning what could have been a real winner into just another interesting rapper/DJ team up.
