As part of A$AP Rocky's rollout for his fourth studio album Don't Be Dumb, the rapper dropped a new single titled Ruby Rosary last Friday, which finds Rocky teaming up with J. Cole.

The record is filled with enticing production elements credited to The Alchemist, with bars that appear to take shots at Drake and reference the historic hip-hop beef from earlier in the year.

"Who in your top five? Haha (F--k your top five) / I don't get fresh to death, b---h, I'm buried alive / I heard dawg talkin' funny, like it's Family Guy / Carin' for n----s like I'm Mary or Bob, made a promise to God / You gotta strive when you marry the mob"
