A$AP Rocky is pulling off a stylish takeover with Highjack, the lead single from his long-awaited fourth album Don’t Be Dumb, dropping January 16, 2026, via AWGE and RCA Records, and it’s that unexpected Jessica Pratt feature that turns a bold flex into something haunting and layered.
This track first hit ears at Rocky’s intimate listening party back in July 2024, where the crowd caught those sly “like that” hooks live, before it landed as an official single on August 2. The sound mixes Rocky’s cloud-rap roots with a dreamy, alternative twist—think muddy organs and tight drums from producers like Greg Kurstin, Hitkidd, and Jordan Patrick, giving it this German expressionism vibe he talked about with Zane Lowe. Pratt’s ethereal outro floats in like a ghost, singing about lost bearings and wishing you’d stayed, contrasting Rocky’s brash verse where he hijacks the spotlight: flexing on wives, flows, and haters, all while shrugging off the chaos with “it’s like that.” And yeah, those repeated “like that” lines feel like a light poke at Drake, echoing Future and Metro’s shot that kicked off the beef, plus bars about dudes wanting his girl bad that nod to the Rihanna history without going full attack.
Don’t Be Dumb has been a slow burn—delayed from summer drops due to clearances and life stuff, but Rocky’s been building it right, playing the full thing for Tim Burton (who dug it heavy) and locking in features like J. Cole on Ruby Rosary and more. He just shared the cover art this month, all Burton-inspired weirdness, with vinyls, CDs, and digitals on the way. Fans can pre-save on Spotify for the tracklist reveal and alerts—it’s his first full project since Testing seven years back, promising that ghetto futurism he’s been teasing.
Rocky’s at this confident peak now, balancing dad life with Rihanna, fashion moves, and finally delivering after trials and triumphs. Highjack shows him evolving—still pretty Flacko, but blending worlds like only he does, proving the wait might just pay off big.
Dive into the Highjack lyrics below and unpack its raw narrative. Don’t miss other Don’t Be Dumb tracks for more of A$AP Rocky’s sharp edge.

Why Your Nigga Flexin’ Like He Me? Ain’t Even Like That
Bitch Mistake My Newest Pinky Ring For A Ice Pack
Shorty Keep On Damn Requestin’ Me About Some Snapchat
I Don’t Even Like Rats, Invested Into Mice Traps
Pull Up To The Trenches, All My Jewelry, Yeah, I’m Like That
I Just Put My Finger In The **** ’cause She Like That
Don’t Compare That Pussy Boy To Me (I Don’t Like That)
Feelin’ Like I’m Sosa, Chiefie Keef (I Don’t Like That)
Tired Of Them Niggas Sleepin’ On Me, I Don’t Like Naps
Niggas Fuck Around And Stole The Flow And Y’all Like That?
Okay, Okay, And I’m Right Back
A$Ap Right Up On My Gut And That’s A Life Tat’

Yeah, I Hung Around Way Uptown, Where It Ain’t Nice At
Catch Me On The Block, Not The Web, This Ain’t Minecraft
Before We Dropped “Peso” On You Niggas, You Ain’t Like Raf
Niggas Want A Feature From Me? This Ain’t A Life Raft
Talk To God Before I Go To Sleep, He Hit Me Right Back
He Said, “Stay Calm, Put Your Trust In Me, You On The Right Path”
These Niggas Want My Wife Bad, The People Want My Next Track
The Coppers Want My Black Ass, Fucked Up, But It’s Like That
Bitches Call My Phone Talkin’ Shit, I Don’t Like That
Niggas On Their Songs Talkin’ Shit, I Don’t Like That
Niggas Hit My Phone, What They On? I Don’t Like That
Devils Inside Homes All Alone, Bitches Like That
Bitches Call My Phone Talkin’ Shit, I Don’t Like That
Niggas On Their Songs Talkin’ Shit, I Don’t Like That
Niggas Hit My Phone, What They On? I Don’t Like That
