Harlem Love: A$AP Rocky Checks In On Murda Mook, Supports Loaded Lux

A$AP Rocky celebrated his birthday and Harlem roots in one FaceTime call, linking up with battle rap heavyweights and while out with Rihanna and showing love to their legendary careers.

ASAP Rocky showed love to his Harlem roots this week, checking in with battle rap legends Murda Mook and Loaded Lux in a series of heartwarming gestures.




In a video posted Wednesday morning, Mook shared a screen recording of a FaceTime call with Rocky and Rihanna, where the rapper checked in on the Harlem emcee and gave a brief update on his newborn daughter. "She's beautiful," Rocky said when asked about the baby. The call, recorded earlier this month, took place during Rocky's birthday outing on October 3.




"Happy f###### birthday, man," Mook said during the call, which he captioned, "When RIRI call.... You answer A$AP!"

Rocky didn't stop with Mook. He also gave props to fellow Harlem lyricist Loaded Lux, rocking his signature "Grey Hoodie" merch in a series of photos Lux later posted online.

Both Mook and Lux have remained active in the battle rap circuit, proving they haven't lost a step.




Mook recently faced off with Hitman Holla on TakeOva Battle League, following high-profile matchups with Tay Roc, Geechi Gotti, Nu Jerzey Twork and Arsonal Da Rebel.








Lux has also been outside, battling Geechi Gotti, Rum Nitty and most recently Nu Jerzey Twork during URL's Summer Madness event in London last month.

Meanwhile, Rocky's long-awaited album Don't Be Dumb remains in limbo. Originally slated for August 2024, the project hit delays due to sample clearance issues and leaks.




By March 2025, the album had entered mixing and mastering, with a tentative release expected sometime later this year.




Rocky's FaceTime moment with Mook and nod to Lux was a reminder that no matter how big he gets, Harlem stays close.
