Out of the palette, which one stands alone,” Rocky said of “Order of Protection.” “Intros could be interludes or outros, if it checks all those boxes, but still has that significant feeling, there you have it.”
Rocky leaned on filmmaker Tim Burton and film composer Danny Elfman to help build out the world surrounding Don’t Be Dumb. He gave a look into his creative process with the decorated cinephiles.
“When working on this album initially we were putting a lot of [Danny Elfman’s] films he did in collaboration with Tim Burton on the TV monitors in the studio,” Rocky explained. “We would sometimes mute and unmute them to get a depiction of how we wanted to layer and color and how we wanted to start building the tone of the album.
He continued: “I was creating a world and was like, ‘Why not reach out to the man himself?’ We reached out to him and he turned out to be a dope-a— fella and he exceeded all of our expectations.”
Don’t Be Dumb arrived in January and served as Rocky’s first album since 2018’s TESTING. The project notched the Harlem rapper his third No. 1 album atop the Billboard 200 with 123,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Jan. 22, according to Luminate.
