ASAP Rocky has announced the release date for his long delayed new album Don’t Be Dumb.
Rocky announced last minute that he was launching a collection at Paris Fashion week under his creative agency, AWGE. “It’s just me trying to encapsulate just all of my experiences, everything that I’ve learned, everything I’ve experienced about the social issues and the social climate of America. I think fashion is an expression. It’s to express how you feel. This is no different. I think each great creative director, designer, artists, they always have that fine balance between conceptualization and manifestation,” he told GQ.
“I think hip-hop is a ghetto expression. I believe urbanwear style, demeanor, swagger, pizzazz, a lot of this is derived from ghetto expressionism,” he continued.
Coinciding with the collection, Rocky revealed that he will release the new album on August 30th.
Multiple versions of the album are now available to pre-order on his official website here.
