Don’t Be Dumb: Drop Everything and Watch A$AP Rocky’s New ‘HIGHJACK’ Video

As anticipation builds for A$AP Rocky's upcoming studio album ‘Don’t Be Dumb,’ the Harlem-born rapper has just dropped the rumoured lead single, 'HIGHJACK,' featuring the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Jessica Pratt. This track offers a glimpse into the evolution of Rocky's sound, which has been six years in the making since his last album, ‘TESTING.’ With ‘HIGHJACK,’ Rocky appears to have refined his artistic direction, setting the stage for what promises to be a ground-breaking release.

The track itself features an ethereal beat that commands your attention from the moment you press play, perfectly complemented by a striking black-and-white video. In the visuals, Rocky transitions seamlessly from sporting his latest AWGE attire to donning a sleek suit, reflecting his ability to effortlessly shift styles in both music and fashion. As always, Rocky's trendsetting confidence is on full display throughout the video, reinforcing his status as a cultural icon.

The video continues with Rocky positioned in the corner of a small, confined room, with a towering shadow cast behind him. This striking imagery symbolises his enduring influence, even when he’s out of the public eye. The shadow represents the weight of his presence, suggesting that Rocky's impact on music and culture is ever-present, lingering in the background until he decides to step back into the spotlight. It’s a powerful reminder that, regardless of his time away, he can re-emerge on his own terms.

As the beat shifts in perfect sync with Jessica Pratt's vocals, the video delivers a touching moment where Rihanna and their new-born child briefly appear on screen. This fleeting image highlights how quickly time has passed since Rocky first burst onto the scene in 2010, evolving from a young, hungry artist to a father of two. The moment underscores the changes in Rocky's life, reflecting his growth not just as an artist but as a person, while still staying true to the essence that made him a star.
