Last weekend, A$AP Rocky announced that his album, Cozy Tapes Vol.1 is finished. If that’s not exciting enough, we can now watch his much anticipated short film Money Man, which includes two tracks from the album as well as a cameo from Skepta.
The 12-minute short film is soundtracked by Rocky’s track “Money Man” featuring A$AP Nast, and an unnamed song featuring Skepta can also be heard. The film stars A$AP Nast, Skepta, and of course Rocky himself, while Actor and screenwriter Said Taghmaoui also makes an appearance in the film – he starred in the groundbreaking 1995 French film La Haine, which “Money Man” uses as inspiration.
The film was shot over three days in North West London and was directed by AWGE – Rocky’s creative collective. It tells the story of a girl named Rina who is trapped in a world of crime and misfortune.
Cozy Tapes Vol.1 doesn’t have a release date yet, but the project is held in a place close to Rocky’s heart. It features several A$AP Mob members, and was initiated by A$AP Yams, Rocky’s best friend who died early in 2015.
Watch the film here over at RedBull.
