A$AP ROCKY PERFORMS SAME PROBLEMS' Rocky teased the unofficially released songs Roddy Rowdy Piper and Mushroom Clouds, but it was a tribute song dedicated to everybody we lost in hip-hop fraternity throughout the years that stole the show.

Before performing the song, Rocky provided some context:
You gotta know that we have the highest statistic of losing people. No other genre loses rockstars, pop singers, and country artists. Hip-hoppers, we get killed and shot every day.
Overdoses, all types of unfortunate events. So this song is dedicated to everybody we lost and anybody who ever lost somebody.
