A$AP Rocky just dropped two truth bomb about his upcoming album All Smiles, his first since 2018's Testing and since busting out of Swedish jail back in 2019. Firstly, he's got two massive collaborators on board to help with the record — Morrissey and Rihanna — and secondly, the album is already about 90 percent complete.

Speaking with GQ, Rocky revealed he's been working remotely with the controversial former Smiths frontman over the last year, enlisting him to contribute vocals, writing and production to the record.

In addition to Morrissey's work on All Smiles, Rocky also shared that the record will feature collaborations with Rihanna — who Rocky has now officially confirmed to be the "lady." In the interview with GQ, Rocky refers to Rih as "the love of my life" and explained that she helped influence the sound of All Smiles, his "ghetto love tale."

"So much better when you got 'the One,'" Rocky said of his partner. "She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones."

So far, further details about the record — including its release date and tracklisting — are mostly under wraps, but with the Moz/Rih reveal, it's safe to say All Smiles is shaping up to be something really, really weird.
