ASAP Rocky has announced the release date for his new album Don’t Be Dumb, set to drop on August 30th.
The album release announcement coincided with Rocky announced that he was launching a collection at Paris Fashion week under his creative agency, AWGE.
Said Rocky to GQ: “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 .. I think hip-hop is a ghetto expression. I believe urbanwear style, demeanor, swagger, pizzazz, a lot of this is derived from ghetto expressionism.”
Multiple versions of the album are now available to pre-order on ASAP Rocky’s official website – here.
