A$AP Rocky is not just a master of creating a vibe with his music; he's a visual storyteller too! His latest video for "Helicopter$" takes us on an exhilarating trip back to the early 2000s, blending nostalgia with modern artistry.
This track marks the second single from his upcoming album, Don't Be Dumb, following the indie rock-inspired jam, "Punk Rocky." While previous visuals paid homage to the grunge and punk rock aesthetic of that era, the new video dives into the pixelated charms of vintage video games.
The single artwork features a clever nod to PlayStation 1 game covers, and the video pushes that retro homage even further with a stylistic take that mimics the first Grand Theft Auto. From the aesthetics to the grainy visuals, everything screams classic video game, transporting viewers to an unforgettable digital landscape.
In true A$AP Rocky fashion, there’s plenty of charm as he finds himself chased by the SWAT team. An obvious nod to the GTA series, where your "wanted level" rises with your misdeeds, Rocky’s crew pulls off thrilling heists with a helicopter, only to end in a hilariously exaggerated style!
Don't Be Dumb Release Date
While the video is perfection, fans are left wanting more, especially since there were rumors of Playboi Carti featuring on “Helicopter$.” Despite these speculations, Rocky’s offering stands strong alone, and there’s still hope for Carti to appear in one of the remaining 15 tracks on the album, with a total of 17 tracks set to release.
Mark your calendars; Don't Be Dumb drops later this week on Friday, January 16.
