Watch A$AP Rocky Perform on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’

Last night (June 11), A$AP Rocky hit the stage at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform two songs off of his #1 album, At.Long.Last.A$AP. The Harlem native played "L$D"--Fallon clarified that Rocky was not on LSD, so far as he knew--and "Jukebox Joints," a cut produced by and featuring (but last night, sadly sans) Kanye West. Backed by the legendary Roots crew, Rocky started the set splayed out in a bed, shaking himself awake and creeping to the front of the stage. By the time "Jukebox" kicked in, he was a commanding presence, one of the banner-carrying rappers for New York this decade.

Though Rocky made it plain that he wanted At.Long.Last.A$AP to eschew the easy commercial grabs of his debut (namely the Skrillex duet "Wild for the Night" and the 2 Chainz-, Drake- and Kendrick Lamar-featuring "Fucking Problems"), his sophomore set still features a bevy of high-profile guests, from West to Future to M.I.A., Schoolboy Q, Lil Wayne, Mos Def, Juicy J and more. He also nabbed a guest spot from Rod Stewart; a joke from an interview was misreported and lead people to believe that Stewart and Rocky were dropping a joint mixtape called Born To Be Pretty. The album is the first from the A$AP family since the passing of Yams, their mentor, manager and label head. In addition to music and his highly-publicized fashion pursuits, Rocky stars in Dope, the highly anticipated new movie from Ricky Famuyiwa. Dope is narrated by Forest Whitaker and is in theaters June 19.
