"L$D" (stylized "L$D"; abbreviation for Love, Sex, Dreams) is a song by A$AP Rocky, an American hip hop recording artist. It was released on May 21, 2015, as the third single from his second studio album, At. Long. Last. ASAP (2015).[1] The song contains a sample from "Ode to Billie Joe" by Lou Donaldson for the song's drums. "L$D" is a musical shift for A$AP Rocky into a more melodious and introspective style.
A music video for the song, directed by Dexter Navy and co-directed by A$AP Rocky himself, was released on May 19, 2015. The second half of the music video contains a snippet of "Excuse Me" which also appears on the album. Navy is known for directing other music videos for A$AP Rocky such as Kids Turned Out Fine and A$AP Forever. The video for "L$D" was nominated for The Best Music Video at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. The video directly borrows imagery and was heavily influenced[2] by French director Gaspar Noe's 2009 psychedelic art film Enter the Void. The song came in at number 64 on the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2015.
