The release date for A$AP Rocky’s anticipated album, Don’t Be Dumb, has been announced as August 30th. Don’t Be Dumb follows Rocky’s last 2018 project, Testing, and a performance at Coachella this year with Tyler, The Creator.
As reported by Hypebeast, Rocky shared the title for his upcoming album at the end of his debut runway, for his “American Sabotage” collection, as he walked the runway holding a Don’t Be Dumb vinyl. Rocky also decorated the venue with American Sabotage newspapers and graphics that read “Don’t Be Dumb. You Know What to Do. Blame Rocky!”
Rocky claimed as far back as December of 2022 that the album was finished, when the rap star appeared with 2 Chainz for an Amazon Music Live event. But since that announcement, A$AP Rocky had two children with Rihanna as well as some highly publicized run-ins with the law. Don’t Be Dumb will be Rocky’s hotly-anticipated follow-up to his 2018 Gold-selling album, Testing. The official tracklist for Don’t Be Dumb has not been shared as of yet, but the record will most likely feature some of the hit tracks that A$AP Rocky has put out over the last couple years, including “D.M.B.,” “Sh*ttin’ Me,” “Same Problems?,” and “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n).” Pre-orders for Don’t Be Dumb are currently available on Rocky’s American Sabotage website.
