A$AP Rocky Doubles the Hype with Surprise Release of “Trunks” & “Both Eyes Closed”

A$AP Rocky just proved that when he moves, he moves loud. Without much warning, the Harlem-bred rap icon dropped not one, but two fresh tracks today — “Trunks” and “Both Eyes Closed” — both featured on the newly released Highest 2 Lowest soundtrack. The internet wasted no time in lighting up over it.

The two songs capture different shades of Rocky’s artistry. “Trunks” leans into his love for psychedelic soundscapes — woozy synths, bass that feels like it’s breathing, and bars that weave between boastful luxury flexes and surreal street visions. On the flip side, “Both Eyes Closed” is darker, sharper, and more introspective. Here, Rocky rides a tense beat with a flow that cuts like broken glass, hinting at paranoia, fame pressure, and the double-edged nature of success.

Fans are already dissecting the lyrics, with some pointing out clever nods to Harlem street culture, fashion references only Rocky could pull off, and the kind of off-kilter rhyme schemes that made him a trailblazer in the first place. Social media threads are flooded with first-listen reactions — some claiming “Trunks” is his smoothest drop since L$D, others arguing “Both Eyes Closed” might be his rawest since Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2.

This drop also reignites speculation about his long-awaited next studio album. While Rocky hasn’t officially confirmed anything, the timing of these releases — alongside his recent cryptic posts — has fans convinced that a bigger project could be lurking just around the corner.

If today’s double-drop proves anything, it’s that A$AP Rocky still knows how to own a moment. Whether he’s turning heads in Paris fashion week or shaking up playlists with unexpected releases, the Pretty Flacko formula stays undefeated.

One thing’s for sure — if this is just the appetizer, the main course is going to be wild.
