A$AP Rocky confirms 'Don't Be Dumb' release for January 16, 2026

A$AP Rocky has confirmed the January 16, 2026 release date for his anticipated album 'Don't Be Dumb'—his first full-length project since 2018's 'Testing.' The update follows last week's Tim Burton-collaborated cover art reveal and builds on earlier teases.

Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky took to Instagram this week to confirm that 'Don't Be Dumb' will arrive on January 16, 2026, solidifying speculation from his November Camp Flog Gnaw appearance where he sported a '01162026' sweatshirt.

The announcement accompanies the previously unveiled cover art, co-designed with filmmaker Tim Burton, hinting at deeper visual collaborations. Composer Danny Elfman—who scored tracks on the album, as revealed last month—further ties into Burton's aesthetic.

With the tracklist still under wraps and a pre-save link active, anticipation grows for this innovative project blending hip-hop with cinematic elements.
