A$AP Rocky debuted on Saturday Night Live with three songs from his new album, Don’t Be Dumb, which dropped Friday. The Harlem-born rapper, who held an album release party not far from the SNL studio late Thursday night, opened with lead single “Punk Rocky.”Don’t Be Dumb is Rocky’s fourth studio album and first since 2018’s Testing. “I don’t do things to just try and stay relevant, or keep my name in the conversation. I try to do natural things, creative, ambitious things that really satisfy me.”Rocky’s second performance was a medley of “Helicopter” and the album’s title track. There’s no word yet from Rocky on a tour in support of his latest album.
