A$AP Rocky has officially released his latest single,“HELICOPTER,” serving as the final preview before his highly anticipated fourth studio album, DON’T BE DUMB. Following last week’s drop of “PUNK ROCKY,” the new track features production handled by Rocky, Kelvin Krash, and Soufien 3000.

The release is accompanied by a music video helmed by Rocky and Dan Streit, created in partnership with Moncler to support Rocky’s GENIUS Collection. Utilizing the specific helicopter from his 2025 Lollapalooza set, the visual employs unique 3D rendering and lifelike holograms to transform the cast into digital objects within a 3D space, capturing the crew taking over the city.

DON’T BE DUMB marks Rocky’s first full-length project in eight years and has already moved over 130,000 physical vinyl units through collaborations with Bilt and Quince. The project features cover art developed in collaboration with filmmaker Tim Burton, showcasing six signature personas — GR1M, MR. MAYERS, RUGAHAND, BABUSHKA BOI, DUMMY, and SHIRTHEAD — rendered in Burton’s distinct style to represent different eras of the artist’s career.

Check out the new video above. A$AP Rocky’s DON’T BE DUMB is scheduled to release on January 16.
