It has been five years since A$AP Rocky dropped his last album, Testing. And fans have been clamoring for his upcoming project, Don’t Be Dumb. The project was originally slated to be released in August 2024, but has since been delayed several times. This has caused many of his fans to grow impatient.
A$AP Rocky Reveals Reason For Album Delay
In a new interview with Elle Magazine, Rocky got transparent about the delayed release of his album. Between his shooting trial and new children, Rocky says that he has been trying to navigate through everything the best that he can.
“I don’t want to primarily blame it on my case, but life was lifeing,” he said to the outlet. “We don’t plan on having children, but when it happens, you gotta adjust and move with it. I gotta be present for my family, because that’s first.”
Rocky also recently co-starred alongside Denzel Washington in the new Spike Lee film, Highest 2 Lowest. Which was released in August. During the promotion of the film, the rap star confirmed that he had finished recording the album. He also called the upcoming project his “best work yet.”
“I got a lot to say now. It’s done, it’s been done,” he said to GQ in August. “I just want to drop it. Man, I don’t know [if it’s a nuclear bomb]. I think it’s just my best work yet, thus far. You know, I worked really hard on it. I think you’ll love it.”
The rap star also said that there may not even be a rollout for the forthcoming project. Teasing that he may just shock drop his fourth studio album.
“I’m just dropping it, how about that?” he added. “I’m [just going to] drop it. I don’t want to say another date and disappoint people. Things happen, things pop up. I just want to make the perfect album and just drop it.
