\n\tRocky\u2019s set ran through Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em> opener \u201cOrder of Protection,\u201d \u201cHelicopter,\u201d \u201cStole Ya Flow,\u201d \u201cSWAT Team,\u201d \u201cPunky Rocky,\u201d Testing<\/em>\u2018s \u201cA$AP Forever,\u201d \u201cStay Here 4 Life\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Be Dumb.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\u201cI think this intro had this majestic way that it was layered. Made me feel like this is intro-appropriate. Out of the palette, which one stands alone,\u201d Rocky said of \u201cOrder of Protection.\u201d \u201cIntros could be interludes or outros, if it checks all those boxes, but still has that significant feeling, there you have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRocky leaned on filmmaker Tim Burton and film composer Danny Elfman to help build out the world surrounding Don\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em>. He gave a look into his creative process with the decorated cinephiles. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen working on this album initially we were putting a lot of [Danny Elfman\u2019s] films he did in collaboration with Tim Burton on the TV monitors in the studio,\u201d Rocky explained. \u201cWe would sometimes mute and unmute them to get a depiction of how we wanted to layer and color and how we wanted to start building the tone of the album. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued: \u201cI was creating a world and was like, \u2018Why not reach out to the man himself?\u2019 We reached out to him and he turned out to be a dope-a\u2014 fella and he exceeded all of our expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDon\u2019t Be Dumb<\/em> arrived in January and served as Rocky\u2019s first album since 2018\u2019s TESTING<\/em>. The project notched the Harlem rapper his third No. 1 album atop the Billboard 200<\/a> with 123,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Jan. 22, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n
