American rapper and record executive A$AP Rocky releases the new song ‘AIR FORCE (BLACK DEMARCO).’ The track features vocalist Spencer Sutherland and is taken from the first disk of Rocky’s newly issued album, ‘Don’t Be Dumb.’ Production credits for the four-minute song go to Manny Laurenko, Zach Fogarty, and A$AP Rocky himself. The release comes from the artist’s own imprint, A$AP Rocky Recordings LLC. This project marks Rocky’s first full-length album in several years, following a period of significant activity in fashion and other ventures. Born Rakim Athelaston Mayers, the artist first reshaped the New York rap landscape with his 2011 mixtape ‘Live.Love.A$AP,’ introducing a hazy, Houston-influenced sound that defied regional trends. His major label debut ‘Long.Live.A$AP’ and its Grammy-nominated single ‘Fuckin’ Problems’ cemented his place in mainstream hip-hop, while later albums like ‘At.Long.Last.A$AP’ and ‘TESTING’ displayed an increasing ambition for psychedelic and experimental production.

The album ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ arrives as a double album, with ‘AIR FORCE (BLACK DEMARCO)’ positioned on its first disk. The involvement of producers Manny Laurenko and Zach Fogarty points to a continuation of the textured, genre-blending approach that defined ‘TESTING.’ The featured artist, American pop singer Spencer Sutherland, represents an interesting crossover choice; Sutherland gained initial attention through social media and television competition shows before establishing himself with his own pop and R&B releases. His vocal presence on the track adds a melodic contrast to Rocky’s rapping. Rocky’s career has been characterized by these types of calculated collaborations, working with artists ranging from Rod Stewart and Miguel to Skepta and FKA twigs. His role as a founder of the A$AP Mob collective and his consistent influence on streetwear and style provide a context that extends beyond music alone.
This release follows Rocky’s previous Grammy nomination for Best Music Video for ‘A$AP Forever’ and his widely discussed performance at the 2023 Met Gala. The title ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ suggests a thematic throughline, potentially reflecting on his experiences in the public eye and the music industry. Tracks like ‘AIR FORCE (BLACK DEMARCO)’ demonstrate his signature blend of braggadocio and introspection, set against complex production. The decision to release a double album indicates a substantial volume of material and a statement of artistic scope. For fans, this ends a wait for new solo album material from one of hip-hop’s most consistent stylistic innovators. The project solidifies his evolution from a trendsetting rapper to a multifaceted creator controlling his output through his own label platform.
