A$AP Rocky is set to release his highly anticipated album, “Don’t Be Dumb,” on January 16, 2026, unless there are any last-minute delays. The album follows a series of singles released since 2024, including “Highjack,” “Tailor Swif,” “Ruby Rosary,” “Pray4DaGang,” and “Punk Rocky.” Rocky has not confirmed a final tracklist, so it remains unclear which songs will appear on the full album.
The album cover was designed by filmmaker Tim Burton, adding a unique visual element to the project. The 15-track album is set to be released as a 2LP vinyl, described as moving “through genres the way you’d move through a city—Jazz, Hip-Hop, Metal, Indie, R&B—each track capturing a different block, mood, or moment.”
As part of the album campaign, Rocky has collaborated with financial platform Bilt to release an exclusive vinyl edition of the album. Beyond the physical release, the partnership includes a community initiative: covering January rent for every tenant in the apartment building where Rocky lived as a teenager in Harlem, New York City.
“For me, it’s always been about your community and neighborhood,” Rocky said in a press release obtained by Realtor.com. “Harlem made me who I am, from uptown to downtown, and that connection to place is everything. When Bilt said they wanted to cover rent for everyone in the same building where I grew up, that hit different. That’s not just business, that’s understanding what community really means.”
Ankur Jain, founder and CEO of Bilt, praised the collaboration. “Rocky embodies what we believe at Bilt: your neighborhood isn’t just where you live, it’s what fuels your creativity, your ambition, your entire trajectory. It’s a celebration of the community that shaped one of hip-hop’s most influential artists and a reminder of why giving back to your neighborhood matters,” Jain said.
The album’s release is expected to generate significant attention, not only for its music but also for its philanthropic component, highlighting Rocky’s connection to Harlem and commitment to giving back.
