A$AP Rocky has expanded the rollout around Don’t Be Dumb Disc 2 with a video for “Shroom Clouds,” his recent song featuring Jeremih and reggie. The track is slated for the deluxe project, which is expected to draw on music that has been kept in the vault for years. There is still no formal release date for the record.

The video arrives shortly after the song’s release and leans into the same surrealist framing associated with “Shroom Clouds.” Rocky co-directed the visual with Aisulton Seitov and Pietro Biz Biasia. North of Now and Partizan produced the video.

A new visual, but no confirmed album timetable

For fans, the key distinction is straightforward: “Shroom Clouds” and its video are public, while the broader release plan for Don’t Be Dumb Disc 2 remains incomplete. A song and video can establish a project’s tone, create a fresh focal point for listeners and give a campaign momentum. They do not, by themselves, confirm an album date, a final track list or the exact contents of a deluxe edition.

That matters especially here because the proposed deluxe is said to include older unreleased material. In music-industry shorthand, a “vault” generally means a body of recordings that have been made but not officially issued. That description can cover songs held back for many reasons: an artist may be revisiting them creatively, determining where they fit in a larger project, or simply deciding that the time is now right to release them. The supplied details do not identify which older songs will appear, how old they are, or whether “Shroom Clouds” itself is among those long-held recordings.

Calling the release a deluxe also establishes a useful expectation without answering every question. A deluxe edition is typically an expanded version connected to an existing album project. It can be a way to add material beyond an original release, but the label alone does not reveal the number of additional tracks or whether every inclusion was recorded during the same creative period. Until Rocky gives more specifics, listeners should treat the project description as a direction rather than a complete set of release details.

“Shroom Clouds” is a compact signal of activity

The practical news is that Rocky has put two linked pieces of work into circulation: a collaborative single and a visual companion. Jeremih and reggie are credited alongside him on “Shroom Clouds,” while Rocky’s directing credit makes the video more than a separate promotional asset handed off entirely to outside filmmakers. Seitov and Biasia share the directing role, and North of Now and Partizan are credited as producers of the visual.

That combination suggests a deliberately authored presentation, though it is important not to overstate what can be concluded from the credits alone. A music video director shapes the visual work, while producers can oversee the process of bringing it together. Shared directing credits indicate collaboration, not necessarily a simple division of responsibilities visible from the finished video. What is confirmed is the team involved, not the behind-the-scenes workflow.

The surrealist approach is also worth separating from a plot claim. “Surreal” describes an artistic mode that prioritizes dreamlike, strange or unexpected associations over everyday realism. It can be a useful fit for a song and video meant to feel less literal than conventional narrative storytelling. But it does not automatically mean viewers should expect one fixed interpretation. The available information characterizes the track and visual as surreal; it does not establish an official narrative explanation.

Why the video matters in a rollout

A rollout is the sequence of releases and public-facing moments used to build toward a larger project. In this case, Rocky has spent much of the year teasing Disc 2, and “Shroom Clouds” provides a concrete addition to that buildup. The video gives audiences another way into the song and keeps attention on the anticipated deluxe even as its release date remains unknown.

Visual releases can serve several practical functions. They can give a standalone song a clearer identity, spotlight collaborators, extend discussion beyond audio platforms and create a shareable object that remains tied to the album campaign. For an artist whose forthcoming project is being watched closely, that matters: the audience gets something tangible to engage with rather than only a promise of material to come.

At the same time, fans should distinguish between momentum and certainty. The new music and video make it reasonable to say activity around Disc 2 is continuing. They are not evidence of a specific drop date. The album has not been formally dated, so claims about an imminent release would go beyond what has been established.

That cautious reading is particularly sensible given the longer path to Don’t Be Dumb. Rocky’s previous album, TESTING, arrived in 2018, and Don’t Be Dumb took years to come together afterward. That history does not predict an exact timetable for Disc 2, but it does explain why an active promotional period should not be confused with a locked calendar.

What listeners can responsibly take from the release

  • “Shroom Clouds” is out: the song pairs A$AP Rocky with Jeremih and reggie.
  • A video is out: Rocky, Aisulton Seitov and Pietro Biz Biasia share directing credits; North of Now and Partizan produced it.
  • The visual is presented as surreal: that places it in a stylized rather than plainly realistic creative lane.
  • Disc 2 is still expected: the deluxe is positioned to include previously unreleased vault material.
  • No release date has been announced: any expectation beyond that remains speculation.

For readers interested in how entertainment projects build identity across formats, there is a different example in a Death Stranding 2 collection that translates game imagery into tech accessories. The underlying formats are different, but both cases show how a larger creative world can be extended through an additional presentation rather than a single core release alone.

For now, “Shroom Clouds” functions as the clearest current marker of Rocky’s next phase: a collaborative track, a newly issued visual and a reminder that Disc 2 remains in motion. The unanswered question is not whether the campaign has material to show; it is when the complete deluxe will receive its formal release plan.
