Everything about this is wins. In 2013, A$AP Rocky's Long.Live.A$AP caused a lot of stir in the hip-hop community early into 2013, which Gesaffelstein's Aleph set the electronic music world on fire later in the year. In this age of cross-collaboration, we hear a lot of random collabs, from Ludacris and Cashmere Cat to Skrillex and Chance the Rapper, but we were NOT expecting A$AP Rocky to tweet about having material with Gesaffelstein:
NEW MUSIC COMIN SOON ON THE @Divergent SOUNDTRACK WITH #GESAFFELSTEIN http://t.co/IM8AJ3VIbh

We have no idea what this song will sound like, nor do we know if it's an original or just something that Gesaffelstein remixed, but this should be intriguing none the less. We'll keep you posted when we get more material.
EDIT While we don't have audio on this track yet, The Playlist is reporting that the A$AP Rocky x Gesaffelstein collaboration is entitled "In Distress." The tracklist also features remixes and originals from Zedd ("Find You"), Skrillex, I See MONSTAS, Woodkid, and Ellie Goulding.
