Rocky’s opening verse boasts, “Wingman ’til I turn into the main man/ I’ve been ballin’ so long, need an Ace band/ Calvin Klein on my waistband/ In Adidas tracksuits like we breakdance/ Say man, how it feel to be a made man?”Īccording to Clams, the track - which features additional samples of Rihanna associate Mikky Ekko - was originally intended for Rocky’s breakthrough record, 2013’s $AP. There’s really no development in his tracks at all. The short visual hears Rocky compare himself to Star Wars creator George Lucas and revered filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, sharing a leisurely flow over Clams Casino’s equally unruffled beat. I don’t know how many times Rocky is gonna make the same type of rap and say the same type of stuff he always said. Clams Casino and AAP Rocky have once again proved to be a dynamic duo on Be Somebody with the help of none other than Lil B. Titled “Be Somebody”, it’s a moody, rumbling number that sees the three artists puffin’ up their chests for all the haters, competitors, and disbelievers to see. I think Clams is one of the greatest producers ever and I really fuck with his early collaborations with Rocky, but I’m not feeling this snippet as much as others. Now, the hip-hop producer has one last preview to offer up before the LP drops, and it features a double dose of hip-hop firepower in ASAP Rocky and Lil B. Clams Casino shares details on production for J-Hopes Jack in the Box, Winter Flower Reimagined with Jazztronik, and advice for beginning producers.

Already we’ve heard a couple of his star-studded collaborations, including those with Future Islands frontman Sam Herring ( “Ghost in a Kiss”), Kelela ( “A Breath Away”), and Vince Staples ( “All Nite”). Clams Casino is less than 24 hours away from releasing his debut album, 32 Levels.
