Background and composition
[edit]
“Rolling Stone” is an R&B song produced by Nascent, Jake One, and Coop the Truth.[1] Its lyrics center around the highs and lows of Faiyaz’s lifestyle. Faiyaz would announce his Fuck The World, It’s a Wasteland tour, later releasing the music video for “Rolling Stone”.[2] The music video would be directed by LoneWolf and Mark Peaced. It depicts a black-and-white environment with Faiyaz watches television in his residence, and getting into an argument with an apparent love interest and taking flicks with fans.[1]
Jon Caramanica writing for The New York Times felt the song was “spacious and ethereal but not directionless—it is R&B that privileges mood over structure, soft daubs of feeling over authoritative belting.”[3] While Clash‘s Robin Murray wrote the song “find[s] Brent daring to pull down the curtain of hype that surrounds him, and let fans see a little extra from his world.”[4] Jem Aswad of Variety said the song was “infectious”.[5]
