A$AP Rocky drops comeback album after nearly eight year wait

A$AP Rocky released his fourth studio album, Don't Be Dumb, via A$AP Worldwide and RCA Records on Friday, Jan. 16, ending an almost-eight-year hiatus.
After nearly eight years away, A$AP Rocky had been focusing on collaborations, singles, a budding film career, co-chairing the Met Gala, and family life with Rihanna; Billboard said personal growth shaped the album's wiser sound.
Among its standout features, the album includes singles 'Punk Rocky' and 'Helicopter,' performed on Saturday Night Live, and cover art by Tim Burton with guest artists Doechii, Gorillaz, Jon Batiste, Will.i.am, and Tyler, The Creator.
A 42-date Don't Be Dumb World Tour kicks off May 27 at United Center, Chicago, and wraps July 11 in New Jersey, with an artist presale Jan. 23 and general sale Jan. 27.
With over 1 million pre-saves on Spotify, Don't Be Dumb became hip-hop’s most pre-saved album, and Billboard said it rewards patience with strong early momentum.
