track,“Trilla.” As Rocky became more and more famous, he hasn’t been in town for a while and is therefore asking what’s happened during his absence. “Wealth is in the mind” has been a mantra of Rocky’s ever since his debut tape, dropping that knowledge on the popular $AP.
His appreciation for women is as deep as his connection to the drug. Although “love, sex, dream” stands for LSD, this plays into the song’s concept: Rocky’s infatuation for women. As a psychedelic, one of LSD’s many side effects is vibrant, color-rich hallucinations, as well as the inducing of a strong sense of euphoria. Rocky could be rapping under the influence of LSD, praising the effects it has on his mind and body, or rapping about a girl that he has feelings for - like a drug, he’s addicted to her. With a Cudi-esque vibe, the song intertwines an ode to the drug LSD (commonly known as “acid”) with his relationship with women. This song and accompanying video were previously released on May 19 via rapper Lil B on Twitter. A song with a deeper meaning after a little more analysis, the third track of A.L.L.A. sets the bar for artist features and great production.

This smooth KLIMKEKS produced track, which also features rapper Bones, preaches the “work hard, play hard” lifestyle of New York City, especially Rocky’s own Harlem.ģ.
An area or crossroad where local New Yorkers, immigrants, tourists, hustlers, hipsters, bridge and tunnel crowds, artists and everyone else collide. It’s a source for tourists to purchase bootleg merchandise like designer bags and watches. Referring to the song’s title, Canal Street is a famous crosstown street in Lower Manhattan. Right from the first listen, this track easily became one of my favorites off the entire album. Claiming that he is in some sense the highest of all rappers in the game, everyone should “Bow your head, the Most High’s around.” With an alternative rock production by Danger Mouse, Rocky starts A.L.L.A. on a high note.
