Billboard cover star A$AP Rocky has made significant waves in the music industry, and in a revealing interview, he shares more than just his music. During a tour around Harlem, he discusses his deep connection to the neighborhood that raised him and its lasting impact not only on his music but also on his parenting style. He highlights the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, how fatherhood has changed him, his relationship with Rihanna and more!
A$AP Rocky:
Yo Billboard. What’s up? Pretty Flacko over here, aka A$AP Rocky, and I’m taking y’all on the walk with me through Harlem. Let’s get it. This is technically the beginning of Harlem. 100 and 10th Street is where Harlem starts. I was born on the 116th up this way is St Luke’s Hospital, and right here is Booker T Washington, my middle school. A lot of memories around here. Middle School is where it all happened: fashion, girls, bad grades. Yeah, back in the days, we used to wear Pelle Pelles, Wissams, Rocawear, Cap USA. I couldn’t afford Apollo Signature back then. I ain’t gonna lie, that was really-
Damien Scott:
Nobody know about that. Nobody knows-
That sh*t. Apollo Signature is way too expensive. Melba’s is probably one of the only places still like creating a community. We walk in here you gonna see aunties, uncles, grandmas, grandpops.
All generations.
Cousins, yeah, youngsters and everybody, come here on good time and not bad time. You feel me. This is Sunday afternoon. They having a block party outside. It don’t even matter that I’m here right now. My presence is just like it’s just adding to it. It’s a cherry on top. That’s Harlem. Cheers. Look at that, the legend. Dap, what’s up legend, what’s up?
Dapper Dan:
I love it.
What’s going on man?
Dapper Dan:
They told me you was here man. I came to say hi and let people know how you inspire them. Thank you for coming to Harlem now. Thank you for being here because I brag about you all the time.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.

Myke Towers talks about creating his new album ‘LA PANTERA NEGRA,’ his North American tour that ties into the album, working on “ADIVINO” with Bad Bunny, collaborating with Peso Pluma and Benny Blanco on his new album, and more!
It’s Tetris hanging out with our Billboard cover star, Myke Towers. How’s it going, man?
What’s good, bro?
So we got to talk about it. ‘LA PANTERA NEGRA,’ or, as I can say it better, ‘Black Panther.’
Yeah, but you did it well. You did it well.
Thank you. I try, I try. So tell me, why the album, Black Panther? Why the name?
First of all, I feel like, like I’m a superhero whenever I’m performing or in the studio, like, when it’s time to do what I do, it’s like putting up the suit.
I mean, you said when you did our cover, that this album kind of like was a return back to who you are musically. So what do you feel like you left that you’re bringing back here?
I think I left a little bit of the lyricist corner. That’s what I like to do, but I was trying to grow up as an artist and define what else can I do? You know, sometimes you gotta go back to the bottom and you feel like, Let’s go start again.
I feel like you always do stay true to your roots, whether it’s reggaeton rap, obviously, other genres, but you do experiment a lot as well. So how do you feel? Like you played around a little bit on this album?
