A$AP Rocky Played Tim Burton His ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ Album: ‘He Was F–king With It Heavy’

Rapper A$AP Rocky has announced that leaks and sample clearances have delayed the release of his new album, Don’t Be Dumb, which was expected to be released at the end of August. The album has been in the making for six years, and A$AP Rocky apologized for the delay, aiming to create the best album ever.  The rapper has hinted at collaborations with J.Cole, Busta Rhymes, and Rihanna on the new album. Rocky played the album for director Tim Burton, asking him to design the album cover. “I sat and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f–king with it heavy,” Rocky said of Burton’s reaction to the music. “He was rocking his head and he’s like, ‘Wow! I didn’t know you made that kind of music!’”  “Don’t Be Dumb” is now expected for the fall.
