On Friday, A$AP Rocky finally released the long-awaited and quite fun Don't Be Dumb, his first album in almost eight years. On Saturday, he did musical-guest and sketch-cameo duty on SNL. Rocky hasn't slowed down since then, either. He's announced an arena tour that'll take him straight through summer, and he's got new Pharrell and Tokischa collabs out in the world in different forms.
On Monday, Pharrell held his Paris Fashion Week show for Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2026 Menswear collection. The show included the premieres of a few Pharrell-produced songs, including A$AP Rocky's swaggering, energized "Disturbing The P," as well as John Legend's "Pray For Ya," Quavo's "Hit-a Lik," and Jackson Wang's "Sex God." The full version of "Disturbing The P" hasn't officially come out, but it sounds like a hit. Better listen now before somebody jerks the YouTube video.
L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf, conducted by Thomas Roussel, and Pharrell's choir project Voices Of Fire performed live, the latter singing "The One" from last fall's OPHANIM album. Pusha T walked the runway and featured on the aforementioned Wang track, but no new Clipse music played. The duo's "Chains & Whips" and "The Birds Don’t Sing" premiered in Pharrell's Louis Vuitton Menswear runway shows in Paris in the summers of 2023 and 2024, respectively, and both are up for Grammys next weekend. Here's this year's full show, with song credits in the YouTube description.
Last night, A$AP Rocky also released the new non-album single "Flakito Jodye," a collaboration with the Dominican MC Tokischa. It's basically Rocky's version of a dembow track, and it's pretty fun. The song has a cartoonishly overwhelming AWGE-directed video, but it's only on Apple Music for now. You can hear the song below.
Earlier this week, A$AP Rocky announced an arena tour that'll start in Chicago in May. It's got dates across North America and Europe, and my son says he wants to go, so I'll probably go. No opening acts have been announced. Instead, right now it's billed as "A$AP Rocky And His Alter Egos." Check out the dates below.
