A$AP Rocky teased something mysterious earlier this week, and now we know exactly what it is. Turns out, “Babushka Boi” is a new song, released today, and also comes with an official video.
Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen, the video loosely follows the general plot of the strip as we see Rocky as the lead member of his own mob. His own crew of criminals are done in exaggerated makeup which also reflects the looks of characters as seen in the 1990 film directed by Warren Beatty who also starred in the movie as Tracy alongside Al Pacino as the villain Alphonse “Big Boy” Caprice.
Conclusively, in this visual, the police chasing Rocky and his entourage are caricatured as pigs. It only gets more interesting at the end once a standoff ensues between the rival factions.
On Tuesday, Swedish prosecutors announced that they would not appeal the verdict. “I have accepted the District Court’s evaluation of the evidence, in as much as the use of whole or broken bottles during the assault has not been proven,” said prosecutor Daniel Suneson. “After due consideration, I have chosen not to appeal the verdict.”
