A$AP Rocky Drops Trippy Visuals for "Tailor Swif" Amid Delayed Album Release

A$AP Rocky Unveils "Tailor Swif" Music Video While Fans Await His Long-Awaited Album, Don’t Be Dumb

Hip hop fans were treated to a visual spectacle as A$AP Rocky released the psychedelic music video for his new single, "Tailor Swif." Originally slated to be part of his much-anticipated album Don’t Be Dumb, the track comes with a video that perfectly captures the Harlem rapper's unique style and creative vision.

A Surreal Journey in Kyiv

Filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine, the "Tailor Swif" video is a wild ride full of eccentric characters, elaborate costumes, and bizarre situations that align with Rocky's eclectic aesthetic. The visuals are a testament to the artist's innovative approach to hip hop, blending elements of fashion, art, and music in a way that only A$AP Rocky can.

A Delayed Album Release

While Don’t Be Dumb was initially set for release on August 30, fans were left disappointed as the album was pushed back to an unspecified date this fall. Despite the delay, Rocky delivered the "Tailor Swif" video as a consolation, giving fans a taste of what's to come.

Rocky’s Vision for Don’t Be Dumb

A$AP Rocky has described Don’t Be Dumb as a "grim" project, drawing inspiration from German expressionism and ghetto futurism. The album, his first in six years, follows the 2018 release of Testing, which received mixed reviews.

Rocky originally debuted "Tailor Swif" during his Rolling Loud Portugal set in July 2022, and the song, along with its video, leaked online shortly after. The leak, however, didn't stop Rocky from perfecting his vision. "At this point, I’ve been working on music for six years, but they leak my music and I get over it and say, ‘Fuck it,’” he shared in a recent interview. “They leak a lot of the music and it ruins it. Like my ‘Tailor Swif’ video. I was pissed off about it, so I never released it.”

The Anticipation Builds

With the release of "Tailor Swif," the anticipation for Don’t Be Dumb continues to grow. As fans eagerly await the fall release, Rocky's latest visual offering serves as a reminder of his status as one of hip hop's most creative forces.
