A$AP Rocky releases 'Shroom Clouds' four years after first tease
A$AP Rocky has released the full version of “Shroom Clouds”, four years after first teasing it.
The song arrived on Friday 16 October. The finished recording features Jeremih and Reggie. That means both singers appear as guests alongside Rocky, Rolling Stone reported.
Production is credited to Sleeping Bear and Hector Delgado. In practical terms, producers build the beat and shape how a recording sounds. Here the credit is shared between the two names. It is the official line-up for the studio version after years as a live song. Credits of this kind are confirmed when a track is delivered to streaming services.
Rocky first played “Shroom Clouds” live in 2022. That included his set at Governors Ball. Four years is a long gap between a stage debut and a commercial release. That gap is common when songs are tested on stage before they are finished for release. It explains why the title was already familiar to people who follow his shows.
He told Rolling Stone the timing is deliberate. He described the single as a bridge between two projects. On one side is “Don’t Be Dumb”, his LP, a full-length album. On the other is “Disc 2”.
He described “Disc 2” as an extension of that LP rather than a separate album on its own. The idea is new music that grows out of the last record. His own update on when it lands was brief. “Disc 2 coming ASAP.”
The release follows a separate interview with Complex published on 14 October. That conversation centred on ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ Disc 2. Rocky discussed “Shroom Clouds” within it, placing the single inside the same rollout story. A rollout means the planned sequence of singles and announcements around a project.
The calendar puts the song between tour legs. It came out days after Rocky closed a European tour. An Australia and New Zealand tour is due in the coming weeks. Singles often land in those windows, when an artist is moving from one audience to the next.
For fans, this means a song once limited to concert memory is now available to play on demand. No set list required. Just press play.
