A$AP Rocky and Ray-Ban Spark Nostalgia with Cash-Stack Styled Eyewear Cases

A$AP Rocky collaborates with Ray-Ban to launch an all-metal eyewear collection, drawing inspiration from vintage silhouettes while crafting a forward-looking design.

The line includes sunglasses and optical glasses in silver and gold, featuring thin designs with wood accents, and is priced between $202 and $249.

The collection, marked by its embrace of classic styles with a contemporary twist, provides various tint levels in sunglasses to cater to different lighting conditions.

Each pair is presented in a case styled like a stack of money, reflecting Rocky's characteristic flair.

A$AP Rocky trades Balenciaga for blackboard in Harlem fourth-grade rap class

Trading designer threads for a substitute teacher badge, A$AP Rocky returns to a Harlem elementary school to helm a fourth-grade rap class on "Celebrity Substitute." Fielding questions on age, schoolyard bullies, and Rihanna’s marital status, he dodges gossip with smooth detachment.

He then transforms the classroom into a makeshift studio, coaching students through flipping their names into bars over the “Punk Rocky” beat from Don’t Be Dumb—an album that quietly debuted atop the Billboard 200.

Patient yet playfully pedagogical, Rocky even moonlights as music video director, guiding the kids through choreographing “IDK,” filmed in fisheye chaos. “Rap is my life,” he confesses, all while fine-tuning third verses and managing fourth-grade energy with something like paternal grace.

A$AP Rocky skips the nostalgia tour, files 15-track sonic memo titled “Don’t Be Dumb”

A$AP Rocky returns after an eight-year recording hiatus with “Don’t Be Dumb,” a 15-track compilation that quietly strains at the walls of current rap orthodoxy. Among its contents sit “Punk Rocky” and “Helicopter,” both previously released, anchoring a project that appears more like a methodical inventory of sonic personas than a straightforward narrative arc.

The album’s timing suggests no hunger for nostalgia, only a cool insistence on autonomy, measured and meticulous. No announcements, just arrivals.

A$AP Rocky drops Don't Be Dumb, trades headlines for hooks—mostly

Eight years after Testing, A$AP Rocky returns with Don’t Be Dumb—his most convincing effort since his 2013 debut. Now father to three and edging into film with roles alongside Rose Byrne and Denzel Washington, Rocky shifts from public spectacle back to studio labor.

Between sparse singles and courtroom drama, he's weathered artistic inertia. Don’t Be Dumb leans charismatic and playful, but fumbles with bloated moments that dilute its sharper edges.

A$AP Rocky Brings Dad Energy and Designer Praise to Chanel’s Front Row

Chanel appoints A$AP Rocky as its new brand ambassador, citing his “limitless creativity” and alignment with the house’s evolving vision. Artistic director Matthieu Blazy praises Rocky’s multi-dimensional persona—musician, actor, father, friend.

The announcement comes with a Michel Gondry short film featuring Rocky opposite Margaret Qualley. Rocky notes Blazy’s designs strike a balance between strength and sensitivity, grounded yet imaginative.

This follows a year that includes a not-guilty verdict in a Hollywood shooting trial, the birth of his third child with Rihanna, and appearances at Rolling Loud and in films with Denzel Washington and Rose Byrne.
