DONT BE DUMB serves as a comeback from a almost 8 year album hiatus from A$AP Rocky. The highs of the 2026 release really do exceed expectations however some of the in-between songs just feel eh and the lows are some of Rocky's very worst. Songs like "STOP SNITCHING" with Sauce Walka and Bossman Dlow, and the single "HELICOPTER" really give fans what they have been waiting for in Rocky's return. However, songs like "STFU" with Slay Squad really fail to impress in every element that you could be disappointed in. - Aden Seelbinder

     I honestly can’t believe we finally got DBD. I’m so happy for this day and dude this album fucking delivered. The album rollout was awful but it got better near the end. The two singles we got, Punk Rocky and Helicopter, were phenomenal. They were both different genres. One being a Sundress vibe and the other being a hardcore hip hop song. Now that the day finally came.. let’s see how A$AP Rocky did.

This was honestly impressive and a bit disappointing at the same time. There were some really great parts with features and beats. Then there was STFU… that was a song. However, this had some of Rocky’s best and most interesting ideas. I loved the ending to this album and the two extra songs helped a lot in this rating. Don’t Be Dumb might have some different songs but this was worth the wait. - Konner Kern
