Fans of A$AP Rocky, get ready! It looks like there’s more music on the way from his latest album, ‘Don’t Be Dumb.’ His creative collective, AWGE, has officially revealed the timeline for the highly anticipated second disc, and it seems we won’t have to wait too much longer.
May is the Month for More ‘Don’t Be Dumb’
Over the weekend, AWGE dropped a simple yet exciting announcement on Twitter: “MAY IS THE MONTH.” This confirms that the deluxe version, or “Disc 2,” of ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ is slated for release in May. This follows hints dropped since the album’s initial release on January 16th.
The rollout for ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ has been strategic. AWGE previously teased “ROLLOUT #2 LOADING…” on March 8th, suggesting a phased release. It appears Rocky and his team may have waited for the initial buzz around other major album drops to subside, allowing him to reclaim the spotlight.
Commercial Success and What to Expect
The original ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ has already proven to be a commercial success, topping charts and moving an impressive 123,000 equivalent units in its first week. It even held the Spotify streaming record for a rapper’s first-day streams for two months. While Kanye West’s ‘Bully’ has since reportedly surpassed some of these numbers, Rocky’s performance after an eight-year hiatus is undeniable.
Fans can anticipate a more “conventional” sound on the deluxe version, as described by Rocky himself in an interview with The Joe Budden Podcast. Expect trap and pop-rap influences, with production contributions from hitmakers like Metro Boomin and Mike WiLL Made-It. Rumors also suggest potential features from superstar talent, possibly including Rihanna.
The Exact Release Date Remains a Mystery
While we know May is the target month, the specific release date is still under wraps. A likely candidate could be May 22nd, the Friday before his ‘DBD’ tour kicks off on the 27th, aligning with the typical “New Music Friday” release schedule. However, the 27th itself falls on a Wednesday, leaving room for speculation.
Regardless of the exact day, the confirmation of a May release for ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ Disc 2 is exciting news for fans eager for more from the Harlem native. It promises to deliver more of the innovative sound and star power that has defined A$AP Rocky’s career.
