A$AP Rocky Teams Up With Tokischa for Surprise Track ‘Flackito Jodye’

The song is now part of the rapper’s new album, Don’t Be Dumb, which dropped last week

Following the release of his new album, Don’t Be Dumb, A$AP Rocky has shared an unexpected addition. The rapper dropped a surprise track, “Flackito Jodye,” which features Tokischa.

Along with the song, the duo collaborated on a retro-style music video, directed by AWGE and available on Apple Music. The track is now part of Disc 2 of Don’t Be Dumb, which arrived on Friday.

Don’t Be Dumb is A$AP Rocky’s fourth studio album and his first LP in eight years. It encompasses 15 tracks and includes singles “Punk Rocky” and “Helicopter,” which both rolled out with wildly surreal music videos — the first featuring Winona Ryder, Thundercat, and Danny Elfman. Rocky partnered with filmmaker Tim Burton for the cover art, which features the six personas seen in the video. Burton also starred in the video for “Air Force (Black Demarco).”

When speaking to Perfect about what’s taken him nearly eight years to follow up 2018’s Testing, Rocky said he’s seeking perfection and honed in on building a legacy. “That’s why I’m not so eager to just drop, drop, drop,” he said. “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.”

Earlier this week, the rapper announced a world tour in support of the LP. The international trek will feature a slate of special guests — just not in the traditional sense. The Dumb Be Dumb tour will include appearances from all six of the alter-egos Rocky introduced on the album: GR1M, Mr. Mayers, Rugahand, Babushka Boi, Dummy, and Shirthead. The crew will be along for the ride from May 27, when the tour kicks off in Chicago, through its conclusion on Sept. 30 in Paris.
