A$AP Rocky Drops 'Shroom Clouds' Friday, Tells Ferg 'U Know Where Home Is' and Calls Himself the Godfather of Rage
A$AP Rocky told Complex his single and video Shroom Clouds drops Friday with Don't Be Dumb Disc 2 right after, called himself the godfather of rage via Playboi Carti, and a day earlier told Ferg U know where home is after Ferg asked who wants to distribute his finished album.
A$AP Rocky says new music is right around the corner. In a Complex interview published Oct. 14, 2026, the Harlem rapper said his new single and video "Shroom Clouds" drops this Friday, with Disc 2 of his No. 1 album Don't Be Dumb "following up right after that."
"Sorry for the wait. I just needed to get off this tour so I could, you know, concentrate, do things the right way," Rocky told Complex's Antonio Johri, fresh off a 49-date world tour. He said Disc 2 is mostly songs from his alter egos built up during his eight-year album hiatus, naming "Babushka Boi," "Sundress," the "Grim Freestyle" he's been performing live, "Hijack" and "Trunks," plus new revisions, new verses and a couple of unheard singles. He said there are "like two guests" on it and told fans to wait on news about his Metro Boomin songs.
Rocky also called himself the godfather of the rage sound, pointing to Playboi Carti. "My artist that I birthed is like the godfather of the new contemporary rage vamp music. And he came from ASAP. He came from AWGE. He is still signed to AWGE," Rocky said. "Technically I'm somewhat responsible for whatever it is and whatever it turns into."
The interview lands a day after Rocky publicly opened the door for Ferg. On Monday (Oct. 12), Ferg, who dropped "A$AP" from his name, posted on Instagram that he finished his new album and asked who wants to distribute it. Rocky replied in the comments: "U know where home is" with a red heart and "congratulations." Billboard and Complex both reported the exchange; no distribution deal has been announced. Rocky previously told Apple Music that Ferg dropping the A$AP name "bothered me but I ain't gon' hold it against him."
Rocky also said he's homesick for New York, shouted out Ice Spice as "the next generation representing New York," and named Don Toliver's Octane, J. Cole's The Fall Off, Baby Keem's Ca$ino and Bruno Mars among his top albums of the year.
