Rocky has revealed a release window for the Don’t Be Dumb album and is openly crediting Tim Burton as a contributor, which has sparked questions about Burton’s role in the cover art and overall visual package.

The rollout frames Don’t Be Dumb as an immersive era that blends music, film, and art, signaling a bold, cross-media presentation for Rocky.

Early singles from the project include Highjack with Jessica Pratt, Tailor Swif, Ruby Rosary with J. Cole, and Pray4DaGang with KayCyy, with Hood Happy among the tracks teased.

Leaks, sample clearances, and related delays have pushed the release from 2024 into a tentative 2025 window.

The piece uses the concept of National Nothing Day to frame January 16 as a moment of pause within the broader rollout.

Pre-save links have gone live even though no official date has been announced, indicating formal distribution is underway.

Fans remain divided on the sonic direction, with no confirmed tracklist or features yet, while anticipation grows for a cohesive yet experimental project.

While the release timeline remains unclear, the project’s heightened visual ambition and cross-media scope are emphasized as key drivers of interest.
