A$AP Rocky has finally unveiled his much-anticipated track “Shroom Clouds,” a song that fans have been eager to hear since its initial live premiere at his Governors Ball performance in 2022. After four years of teasing, the full version features collaborators Jeremih and Reggie, produced by Sleeping Bear and Hector Delgado, and marks an exciting addition to Rocky’s discography.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, A$AP Rocky revealed that “Shroom Clouds” serves as a bridge between his latest album Don’t Be Dumb and an upcoming “extension” dubbed Disc 2. “It’s a song that we heard before, but I never officially put it out. It’s called ‘Shroom Clouds.’ It’s a fan favorite,” he stated, emphasizing the extensive work he put into perfecting the accompanying video over the years—although the video had not been released at press time.
“Shroom Clouds” arrives just days after the rapper wrapped up a European tour and is timed perfectly before his forthcoming tour in Australia and New Zealand. “You know, I just needed to get a break in between tours to drop this too, so that they could get ready for the next chapter,” he added.
Upcoming Projects
Rocky described Disc 2 as an extension of Don’t Be Dumb that draws inspiration from cinematic icons Denzel Washington and Spike Lee, particularly referencing Malcolm X. “I don’t really want to get too far ahead of myself, but the inspiration behind it was Denzel and Spike Lee, you know, Malcolm X. I’m ready to go redhead on them, go stupid, you know,” he expressed.
As for the release timeline of Disc 2, A$AP Rocky assured fans, “Disc 2 coming ASAP.” With “Shroom Clouds” now out and the promise of more to come, fans can eagerly anticipate what’s next from the talented rapper.
