A$AP Rocky sat down with Elliott Wilson for his CRWN interview at the Tribeca Film Festival last night. During the segment, he spoke about his upcoming new album At.Long.Last.A$AP and debuted a new track called "The Beauty and The Beast" along with its accompanying video. Complex captured some of the footage, which you can check out below.

During his interview, Rocky also spoke about the beginnings of A$AP Mob, the death of A$AP Yams, his thoughts on social media, being bored with clubbing, his marijuana and psychedelic usage, and his preference for the single life, among other topics.

He said that he is inspired by his rapper peers, including Earl Sweatshirt, Joey Bada$, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole.

"I just want to give y'all dope jiggy s**t at the expense of my own free time. It don't always have to come with a catch. I want y'all to inspire me," he said. "Kendrick's album inspired me. J. Cole's success inspired me. I want to feel inspired. We gotta keep raising the bar."

He also listed Pusha T and Mos Def as artists he's excited to hear new music from.

"I swear to y'all Pusha T spitting like he was 19," Rocky of the G.O.O.D. Music rapper. "It made me like hip hop again."

Rocky will be making his big screen debut in Dope, which hits theaters June 19. You can check out his acting chops in the new trailer for the film. During the interview, he said that he wants to start doing more complicated roles in the future. "[Something] elegant. Test my intelligence," he said.

At. Long. Last. A$AP or A.L.L.A is slated for a May 12 release. Rocky dropped his last single "M's" earlier this month with new material slowly surfacing from the Harlem rapper over the past few months. He unveiled the music video for his single "Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2" earlier in the year and dropped "Multiply" late last year. A full version of "The Beauty and the Beast" will likely be the next to surface.
