We Studied A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb
After years away from the album cycle, A$AP Rocky returned with Don’t Be Dumb through cultural positioning, letting fashion, collaboration, and selective visibility set the context before the music spoke. While Rocky’s scale is rare, the strategy behind the rollout is transferable.
Inside this case study, we explore:
- Using absence as a strategic advantage
- Reintroducing music through culture
- Omnipresence through ambiguity & collaboration
- Treating the album as the moment
