Explained in plain English
What is a 'drop' in music?
In music, a 'drop' refers to the official release of new music, like a single or an album. When A$AP Rocky says Rihanna is 'cooking,' he's hinting at new music that will eventually 'drop' for fans to hear. It's a highly anticipated moment, especially since Rihanna hasn't had a new album drop since 2016's 'Anti'.
