Saturday Night Live became way more melodious with A$AP Rocky’s musical appearance.
On January 17, the 37-year-old American rapper and record producer made a delightful appearance on SNL as a musical guest, where he delivered the first live performance of his latest album, Don’t Be Dumb.
Taking to his official Instagram account on the same day, the Sundress hitmaker shared a clip of his performance that opened with Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard – host of the night on SNL – introducing the rapper on stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, A$AP Rocky,” Wolfhard stated, after which the rapper appeared on stage to deliver performances on his new tracks, including Punk Rocky, Helicopter, and Don’t Be Dumb/Trip Baby.
A$AP Rocky kicked off his exciting performance with the lead single Punk Rocky, which he released last week with a star-studded music video featuring Winona Ryder, Danny Elfman, Thundercat, and A$AP Nast.
Following this, the rapper performed a medley on Helicopter and Don’t Be Dumb mashup.

A third praised, “Now this is what I call a rollout @asaprocky Thank you for a beautiful album front to back!”
