DON’T BE DUMB Lyrics & Tracklist - A$AP Rocky

A$AP Rocky’s long‑delayed fourth studio album Don’t Be Dumb is now officially set for release on January 16, 2026. The project follows his 2018 album Testing and is being positioned as his first full‑length solo statement in nearly a decade, making it a major moment in his discography. The album will arrive across all major formats, including digital streaming and download, as well as physical editions on vinyl, CD, and cassette that have already started appearing in retail listings and promotional posts.

On the business side, Don’t Be Dumb is being released through Rocky’s creative company AWGE in partnership with Polo Grounds Music and RCA Records, the major‑label home that has handled his earlier albums and broader distribution. This setup allows Rocky to maintain a distinct creative identity under AWGE while still leveraging the reach and infrastructure of a major label for physical and digital rollout worldwide. The physical editions being solicited to record stores and online retailers underline that RCA and its partners are handling manufacturing and distribution across formats.

The rollout of Don’t Be Dumb has been unusually chaotic and heavily discussed among fans. Rocky initially teased an earlier release window, including an August 30 date that was later scrapped, followed by vague “fall 2024” and 2025 targets, which led to canceled pre‑orders and repeated stories about delays. The turning point came when he hinted at the new date during a Camp Flog Gnaw performance and then confirmed January 16, 2026 in a social media post explicitly tying the date to the vinyl, CD, and cassette versions, signaling that this is finally the locked‑in plan.
