Don’t Be Dumb is A$AP Rocky’s fourth studio album, finally coming in 2025 after multiple delays—initially teased for spring or fall 2024 but pushed back to iron out samples and leaks. It follows a long hiatus since 2018's Testing, and Rocky has said it’s his best work yet, with mixing and mastering wrapped up early this year.
He’s teased a cinematic, expressive sound—“German expressionism” meets gritty hip‑hop—via singles like “Highjack,” “Tailor Swif,” “Ruby Rosary” (ft. J. Cole), and the July‑dropped anthem “Pray4DaGang” with KayCyy. The album’s rolling out through his AWGE label in partnership with RCA and Polo Grounds, showcasing heavyweight producers from Mike Dean and Madlib to Pharrell, Metro Boomin, Clams Casino, Tyler, The Creator, and more.
Lyrically and sonically it reflects Rocky’s evolution—fatherhood, legal battles, fame, identity—all processed through moody, bold production and confident, introspective flows. The minimalistic artwork and title suggest a sharp, no‑nonsense attitude: he’s not here to coddle. It’s a full‑on statement from an artist at a crossroads, and the world’s been tapping its foot waiting to see how Don’t Be Dumb lands.
