TOP 5 SONGS
5. NO TRESPASSING
“NO TRESPASSING” is all about boundaries.
A$AP Rocky makes it clear that he’s staying in his own lane and doing things his way — no outside opinions needed. The track has a confident, slightly bougie feel, but the message is simple: let Rocky be Rocky. He’s still the same person he’s always been, and he’s shutting down any unnecessary noise.
Overall, the track has a nice bounce, some solid club energy, and several catchy moments.
4. WHISKEY (RELEASE ME)
This is one of the album’s most sensual tracks.
It’s about drunken nights, intimacy, and losing yourself in the moment without worrying about tomorrow. Rocky leans into real chemistry here, getting high, staying up late, and indulging in the feeling of being with someone who can’t be replaced, all over random gunshot noises from Westside Gunn. It’s smooth, seductive, and emotionally grounded in a way that feels genuine rather than forced.

3. STOLE MY FLOW
A$AP Rocky says he isn’t dissing Drake on this track… A$AP Rocky is a liar.
That BBL line has to be about Drake, right? Anywho, in “STOLE MY FLOW,” Rocky talks his s**t, addressing disrespect and making it clear that he knows exactly who he is and what he’s capable of. There’s an effortless confidence here. He doesn’t need validation or approval because he already knows his worth. Everything else fades into irrelevance, and that attitude comes through loud and clear in both the bars and delivery.
2. STAY HERE 4 LIFE (Ft. Brent Faiyaz)
This song captures that feeling of wanting to pause a perfect moment and live inside it forever.
Whether it’s waking up next to someone you love, watching sunlight spill through the window, or staring at the moon late at night, A$AP Rocky and Brent Faiyaz want to freeze time. The track leans more into R&B, carrying a softness and warmth that feels intimate and sincere. It’s romantic without being overly sentimental, and it shows a gentler side of Rocky that fits beautifully within the album.
1. PUNK ROCKY
This track is one of the most exciting moments on the album.
A$AP Rocky leans fully into punk and alternative influences while still sounding unmistakably like himself. Lyrically, it’s vulnerable and reflective. He talks about wanting a love that lasts, not one that breaks him down and disappears.
Rocky also reflects on a relationship he thought was real, one he believed would ride for him, only for it to fall apart. Now, all he wants is something real, something that stays. The genre-bending production paired with emotional honesty makes this one stand out immediately.

RGM RATING
(79%)
DON’T BE DUMB delivers genre-bending production, sharp bars, laid-back moments, and tracks that hit emotionally deeper than expected. Specifically, Rocky experiments with punk, alternative, R&B, soul, jazz, synth-heavy beats, and classic hip-hop elements, creating an album that feels unpredictable but intentional.
Lyrically, Rocky touches on fame, love, relationships, breakups, self-identity, and doing what’s best for himself — regardless of outside opinion. There are references to Rihanna, reflections on living life in the spotlight, and reminders that growth doesn’t mean losing yourself.
DON’T BE DUMB doesn’t chase trends at all; it feels like Rocky doing exactly what he wants, how he wants. When it’s all said and done, it’s confident, layered, and versatile — an album that offers something different depending on what mood you’re in.
