All we know so far about A$AP Rocky's Don't Be Dumb album

A$AP Rocky has not confirmed the tracklist for the Don't Be Dumb album as of now. However, the recently released singles including Sh*ttin’ Me, Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n), Same Problems?, and D.M.B. are expected to be a part of it.

In a December 2022 interview with GQ, the rapper hinted that the new album took inspiration from Metro Boomin. At that time, the Harlem-born singer said:

“I’m gonna put it to you like this: This next album needs to be just called Flacko Boomin, you hear me?”

Metro Boomin is one of the many collaborators expected to be featured in Don't Be Dumb. The album is now available for digital pre-save through Rocky's AWGE website - live.awge.com. Fans can also pre-order physical copies of the album and themed merch from the website. While the digital copies cost over $5, the physical CDs, cassettes, and merch packs may cost between $12 and $100.
