But given the nature of the cinematic talent he&#8217;s collaborating with for it \u2013 Elfman and Burton \u2013 we think there&#8217;s likely to be some pretty epic visuals attached. But, we wait for confirmation on that front.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>When will it be released?<\/h2>\n<p>While there\u2019s still no confirmed release date, the message makes it clear that the album rollout is officially underway: &#8220;Coming Soon&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Fans have been busy speculating, especially after Rocky was spotted wearing a hoodie with the numbers \u201c01162026,\u201d hinting at a possible 16 January 2026 release.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Rocky has continued to say the album is expected to drop sometime in 2025 \u2013 so for now, the exact timing remains a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why was it delayed?<\/h2>\n<p>Originally set to drop in August 2024, <em>Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em> has gone through several delays. Tracks that have already been announced include <em>Highjack<\/em>, <em>Tailor Swif<\/em>, <em>Ruby Rosary,<\/em> and <em>Pray4DaGang<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Rocky has been open about why the album keeps getting pushed back, saying he doesn\u2019t want to rush the process. In recent interviews, he\u2019s described the project as a reflection of personal growth \u2013 less focused on excess, but still rooted in fashion, creativity, and self-expression.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of music, Rocky has hardly slowed down. He\u2019s stayed busy with acting roles, creative director gigs with Ray-Ban and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/asap-rocky-chanel-ambassador\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an ambassadorship with CHANEL<\/a>, and family life alongside Rihanna and their children.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Who is involved?<\/h2>\n<p>Rocky recently revealed the album artwork was by none other than legendary filmmaker Tim Burton, bringing together hip-hop and Burton\u2019s signature gothic, cinematic style.<\/p>\n<p>Burton\u2019s involvement isn\u2019t just surface-level, either. The director behind cult classics like <em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em>, <em>Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/jenna-ortega-beetlejuice-sequel-updates-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Beetlejuice<\/em><\/a> reportedly created the official album artwork and may be part of a larger visual world tied to the project.<\/p>\n<p>Rocky has previously shared that he played the album for Burton, who was blown away by what he heard and surprised by how wide-ranging Rocky\u2019s sound had become.<\/p>\n<p>Adding even more cinematic energy to the album is Danny Elfman, Burton\u2019s longtime collaborator. Elfman \u2013 known for scoring films like <em>Beetlejuice<\/em> and <em>Men in Black<\/em> \u2013 contributed to multiple tracks on <em>Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em>, reportedly handling portions of the album\u2019s scoring.<\/p>\n<p>One of the songs he worked on was produced by The Alchemist, further emphasising just how eclectic and ambitious the project is shaping up to be.<\/p>\n<blockquote
