"Ruby Rosary" is a song by American rapper ASAP Rocky featuring fellow American rapper J. Cole. Produced by the Alchemist, it was released on September 6, 2024, as the intended third single from Rocky's upcoming fourth studio album Don't Be Dumb; however, the song was not included on the album.
The song contains downtempo piano-led beat.[1][2][3] ASAP Rocky performs the first two verses, in which he brags about his fashion style and position in the rap industry,[4] In the second verse, he directs subliminal shots toward fellow rapper Drake in response to his diss tracks "Push Ups" and "Family Matters",[2][4][5] rapping "Who dared me to die? / You a dead man walkin', like you barely alive / Cut everything but the family ties / Cut the shit, cut the lies, word to the wise / Who in your top five? (Fuck your top five) / I don't get fresh to death, bitch, I'm buried alive / I heard dawg talkin' funny, like it's Family Guy / Carin' for niggas like I'm Mary or Bob / Made a promise to God / You gotta strive when you marry the mob".[2][3][4][6] The lyrics reference "Buried Alive", the interlude on Drake's album Take Care which Kendrick Lamar (whom Drake is feuding with) raps on, as well as the disses that Drake and Lamar aimed at each other about their families in "Family Matters" and "Meet the Grahams".[2][6] J. Cole performs the third and final verse,[3][4] in which he raps about continuing to be a successful rapper[5] and ignoring his past.[3]
