FKA Twigs is fresh off the release of her new single, "Cellophane," which served as her first single since 2016. Shortly after, she announced that she was heading out on tour which seems like a promising sign that a new project is on the horizon. Since the release of her last album, M3LLI55X in 2015, she's appeared in an ad for Apple Homepod, directed by Spike Jonze. She also appeared on A$AP Rocky's last album, Testing on the song, "Fukk Sleep." The artist brought out the Harlem rapper during a show in his hometown to perform their Testing collab.

FKA Twigs performed at New York’s Park Avenue Armory for Red Bull Music Festival where she performed new songs and brought out A$AP Rocky. A clip of the new song and Rocky's bit surfaced online. FKA Twigs did a sword performance before jumping into her bit of "Fukk Sleep." Shortly after, Rocky joined her on stage where they performed the whole song.

Aside from Rocky's recent performance with FKA Twigs, the rapper's seem to be working on a new album. Since last August, Juicy J's been teasing his involvement in Rocky's next album which has yet to be announced.

Over the past few months, Rocky's delivered a couple of memorable guest verses. Most recently, he and A$AP Ferg joined forces for their new collab, "Pup."
