A$AP Rocky's highly anticipated album "Don't Be Dumb" finally dropped, and the A$AP Mob patriarch threw a star-studded party to celebrate. The private listening party took place at New York City's Lavan Midtown on January 15th, just hours before the album's release.
Upon arrival, guests were immersed in a Tim Burton-inspired world with decals and artwork from the album cover adorning the walls under dim red lights. A branded helicopter stood proudly near a checkered backdrop filled with variations of Rocky's album art, adding to the immersive experience. The open event space was transformed into an A$AP Mob playground, complete with lofty couches, specialty cocktails, and a Puma sneaker customization bar where guests could customize their own kicks.
As DJ SpinKing spun tracks, attendees sipped on bespoke drinks like the "Don't Be Dumb" and the "AWGE-ARITA," while some opted for more exclusive options like the PATRÓN-laced cocktail. The atmosphere was electric, with guests mingling and having a blast.
Just before midnight, A$AP Rocky made his grand entrance in an elevated section above the crowd, accompanied by A$AP Lou aka Lou Banga, who kept the party lit with the "Helicopter" single. Rocky took to the mic, expressing his gratitude to attendees and reminding everyone not to be dumb. The night was a testament to the enduring power of A$AP Rocky's creativity and connection with his fans.
Some notable attendees included celebrities like Jon Batiste, Max B, Fivio Foreign, Lil Mama, DJ Clue, Lenny S, Masika Kalysha, Busta Rhymes, and Rihanna – a special guest who showed her love for Harlem's own son. The party was a fitting tribute to Rocky's highly anticipated album, which marked his first release in nearly eight years.

i feel like i need to go 2 harlem just 2 see where rocky got his inspiration from btw is it true he's been workin on this album 4 like 8 years now?
and it sounds like the guests were hyped! I love how he incorporated Tim Burton's aesthetic into the decor, that's such a bold move, but it totally fits his style. The helicopter is also a great touch, what a unique way to get everyone pumped up for the album release 
. It's also amazing to see all the celebrities showing their support for Rocky, that's what makes this moment so special. And I gotta ask, who needs an album when you have a party like this? 
ASAP Rocky's private listening party was literally EVERYTHING!!! I mean I've been counting down the days till "Don't Be Dumb" dropped and it was so worth the wait! The whole Tim Burton vibe was so unique and cool, like no other party I've ever seen. And can we talk about the bespoke drinks? Like, who comes up with that stuff? 
"AWGE-ARITA"? Genius! But what really made me hyped was when A$AP Rocky took the mic and gave a shoutout to his fans. That's what it's all about, you know? The energy at that party was electric and I'm still feeling it 
. And can we give a special shoutout to Rihanna for showing love to our boy ASAP! 
how cool is that?! The drinks were straight fire too - bespoke cocktails galore, including a PATRÓN-laced one ouch! but it was all good vibes & A$AP Rocky slayed the mic 
his connection w/ fans is still strong as ever 
Rihanna showed up & showed love for Harlem's own son - respect! The party was lit till midnight, can't wait to get my hands on that album ASAP 
.
i mean can you even imagine stepping into that tim burton inspired world with those bespoke drinks and helicopter backdrop lol what a genius idea! 
gotta give asap rocky props for bringing it all together
. I mean, the party they threw for the release was more than just a celebration, it was a thank you to everyone who has supported him throughout the years... it's like, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade - but Rocky made an album that represents the best of his growth and creativity 
. His party looks insane and it's dope that he threw it just hours before the album dropped. I love how immersive the whole experience was, from the decor to the bespoke drinks – it's like a whole different world in there 
. I don't think anyone's gonna forget this party anytime soon 
you know when asap rocky dropped "live love aid" it was like the whole world was vibin with him? now days its all about them private listening parties and helicopter rides, feels like the magic has lost a lil bit 
still, its dope to see the a$ap mob putting on for harlem and bringing people together. btw, where's the playlist from that party tho? 
, it added such a unique vibe to the whole event. And can we talk about the helicopter?! 
. Can't wait to dive into "Don't Be Dumb" and see what kind of magic Rocky has in store for us! 
.
I need a pair ASAP. But for real, it's so dope to see Rocky connect with his fans in such a special way. The atmosphere was LIT
