A$AP Rocky and Winona Ryder have officially delivered the most unexpected collaboration in the wild new music video for his single “Punk Rocky.”
Dropping just days ago, the video has sent fans into a frenzy as the Harlem rapper pairs his high-fashion chaos with the legendary cool of the “Stranger Things” star.
In the video, Ryder plays the ultimate suburban neighbour. While Rocky is busy fronting a raucous garage band that eventually gets him arrested, Winona isn't calling the neighbourhood watch.
Instead, she’s seen lounging on her porch in a Beavis and Butt-Head t-shirt, vibing to the noise, and eventually bringing the group a plate of cookies.
Rocky keeps things weird and wonderful with his own look, rocking pink hair rollers and a swollen eye while a literal singing eyeball joins the performance.
It is a trippy, surreal vibe that perfectly sets the stage for his long-awaited fourth studio album, “Don’t Be Dumb,” which is officially hitting streaming platforms next Friday, January 16.
This release is a massive moment for music lovers because it ends an eight-year wait since his last solo project.
Rocky clearly isn't playing it safe this time around either. He leaned into his love for gothic cinema by having the legendary Tim Burton design the album's cover art.
If that wasn't enough, he even got Burton's long-time composer, Danny Elfman, to play drums in the video.
Between the Hollywood star power and the surreal visuals, Rocky is making sure the world knows he is back.
