Don't Be Dumb by A$AP Rocky

Don't Be Dumb by ASAP Rocky was the first prominent new rap album from 2026 that I've listened to. I'm not a big ASAP Rocky fan, and he hasn't released a project since 2018's TESTING, so I was entirely sure what I was going to be getting into here.

It's... fine? There are some solid beats and at least one track that will be added to my gym playlist (STOLE YA FLOW) but there's very little of substance that I took from this album.

If there's a concept or a premise or any sort of insightful storytelling here, I didn't get it. It's mostly catchy background music to me, and that has its place.

Overall: 50
