This fall, A$AP Rocky’s fourth studio album, “Don’t be Dumb,” will be released. Born and raised in Harlem, New York City, 36-year-old Rocky has been releasing hit songs since 2010. After six years with no album from A$AP Rocky, fans are thrilled for this upcoming album to be released.

“He is a really good artist and he has really creative music,” sophomore Kiley Wallace said. “I am excited for the album because he hasn’t dropped in awhile and I think it would be really good.”

During this year’s Paris Fashion Week, Rocky previewed a song from the new album to give fans a taste of what the album will be like, and later announced the release date. Rocky originally planned to release “Don’t be Dumb” on August 30, 2024. He explained that the album was delayed because of multiple leaks and sample clearances.

“Fans are probably mad about A$AP Rocky delaying his album, but that probably means he is going to have something even bigger come out soon,” freshman Gabriella Strauss said.

Rocky overall has a big impact on this generation by creating catchy songs and deep meaningful lyrics that his fanbase can easily connect to. As far as anybody knows, Rocky’s album can be released any day now, creating excitement in the current music industry.

“His lyrics mean a lot,” freshman Natalia Deoliveira said. “I am really excited for the new album because I need new music to listen to.”
