A$AP Rocky and Thundercat’s current projects and collaborations
A$AP Rocky and Thundercat aren’t new collaborators, their musical partnership has been brewing behind the scenes for years. Their careers officially intersected when they worked on the song Feel the Fiyaaaah by Metro Boomin in December 2022, on Metro Boomin's album Heroes & Villains.
During an Apple Music 1 interview in January 2023, Rocky stated that Thundercat is one of the "heavy hitters" on his album Don’t Be Dumb. He credited Thundercat alongside Tyler, the Creator, Miguel, and Lil Yachty, for shaping the song Same Problems?
As of mid-2025, both A$AP Rocky and Thundercat are pursuing individual projects. Rocky is reportedly in the final stages of preparing his highly anticipated album, Don't be Dumb.
He also became the first-ever Creative Director of Ray-Ban in February. His role includes designing the “Blacked Out” Collection and directing the future marketing efforts.
Back in March 2025, the rapper overtook Hollywood Park Grounds at Inglewood, flying in a black helicopter to promote his forthcoming album.
Meanwhile, Thundercat has been more low-key, dropping hints about new music at live shows and maintaining several collaborations. In April 2024, Thundercat had a feature with Justice on The End, which was played at the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony in Paris.
In August 2024, he appeared in an episode of the children's show Yo Gabba Gabba performing the song Orange Cat alongside the cast of the show.
With speculation growing by the day, the new studio teaser has revived the excitement over the creative partnership between A$AP Rocky and Thundercat.
