ASAP Rocky Releases New Video for Song “Helicopter$” from ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ – Complex

ASAP Rocky is offering fans a sneak peek into the world of his upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, set to be released this Friday. On Monday (Jan. 12), Rocky unveiled the official video for his track “Helicopter$,” following a previous version with Playboi Carti. The video, directed by Dan Streit and co-written with Rocky, showcases the artist’s creative vision.

“Helicopter$” comes on the heels of Rocky’s “Punk Rocky” project, where he collaborated with Winona Ryder in a video co-directed alongside Folkert Verdoorn and Simon Becks. The video also featured renowned composer Danny Elfman, known for his work with filmmaker Tim Burton. The influence of Burton is evident throughout Rocky’s latest work, as he enlisted him to handle the cover art for Don’t Be Dumb, marking a significant moment in his musical career after an eight-year hiatus.

ESPN has also recognized the power of Rocky’s music, selecting both “Helicopter$” and “Punk Rocky” for their College Football Playoff National Championship game spot. This further solidifies Rocky’s crossover appeal and showcases his ability to create music that resonates with broad audiences.

After facing years of delays, fans can finally anticipate the release of Don’t Be Dumb on Friday. Speculation remains on whether Morrissey, who was previously hinted at being part of the project, will actually make an appearance. Rocky’s album promises a blend of his unique style and influences, ensuring a dynamic listening experience for his dedicated fan base.

ASAP Rocky’s creative collaborations and musical prowess have set the stage for an exciting release with Don’t Be Dumb. With visuals that capture his artistic vision and a sound that resonates with diverse audiences, Rocky continues to push boundaries and evolve as an artist. The anticipation leading up to Friday’s release signifies a new chapter in his career and solidifies his position as a dynamic force in the music industry.
