Shortly after Lana Del Rey’s National Anthem video (which co-stars A$AP Rocky) was released, a collaboration between the two surfaced on the net. A track that was originally supposed to land on The KickDrums’ We Are Leaders project but was held for A$AP’s debut. Turns out the song was unfinished and leaked without permission, as A$AP took to the Twitter to release a little steam.
THAT RIDIN SONG WITH ME N LANA IZ NOT OFFICAL, ITS NOT MY REAL LYRICS , THAT WAZ A REFERENCE , THE KICK DRUMS CAN SUCK MY DICK!!!! MY BARZ ARE WACK AF ON THAT SONG BRUH, THAT WAZ A FREESTYLE REFERENCE AND THEY KNOW DAT, FUCK THE KICK DRUMS!!! I CARE ABOUT MY CRAFT TOO MUCH TO GIVE THE PPL GARBAGE LIKE THAT, SMH
In response to that, The KickDrums state that they had nothing to do with the leak themselves.
We didn’t leak that “Ridin'” track. I was as surprised to see it on the web as everyone else. Whole thing is weird to me. Song just pops up outta nowhere & theres an official lookin cover and shit. call my manager like “what is this?”
Out of respect to Rocky and all parties involved, we immediately took the post down upon finding out it wasn’t official. Hopefully we get to hear something official in the near future though.
