"With the release of his new single "Helicopter$," A$AP Rocky is inching ever closer to the release of his highly-anticipated fourth studio album, Don't Be Dumb, out this Friday, January 16th via A$AP Worldwide/RCA Records. Stream "Helicopter$" below. Written by Rocky and Kelvin Krash, the track was also produced by the duo with additional work by Soufien 3000. Sonically, "Helicopter$" fits more neatly into the A$AP Rocky aural aesthetic than his previous offering, the psychedelic lead single "Punk Rocky.""
"The new song sees Rocky talking his shit, per usual, and leaning heavily into nostalgia. "Take my white tee off, spin it like a helicopter/ Fuck with young Pretty Flacko, I Petey pop you," he raps, referencing North Carolina rapper Petey Pablo's 2001 regional pride anthem, "Raise Up." A$AP Rocky's latest drop also comes with a music video that's just as chaotic as it is alluring."
