<p>Ty Dolla $ign’s latest album, <em>TYCOON</em>, continues to deliver, and the music video for “DECEMBER 31ST,” released Tuesday (Dec. 30), is a prime example of the project’s momentum. The track features collaborations with A$AP Rocky and Tommy Revenge.</p>
<p>The video, directed by AWGE, largely embraces a stark black-and-white palette, punctuated by vibrant details like pink hair rollers on Rocky and Tommy, and a striking red bandana worn by Ty Dolla $ign. A$AP Rocky delivers a rapid-fire verse, spitting, “Yeah, Flacko don't do TikTok, I'm perpetual / Uh, uh, I'm too tip-top shape, I'm sick, need Theraflu.”</p>
<p>The visual experience is intentionally chaotic, showcasing the trio brandishing firearms, posing atop police vehicles, and reveling with a large group of supporters and onlookers. </p>
<p>Ty Dolla $ign shared the story behind the song’s creation during a November conversation with Justin Credible. He recounted running into A$AP Rocky “the night before” <em>TYCOON</em> was released. “I went to [Playboi] Carti’s show. We watched Carti, I went back there, hollered at him, and I ran into Rocky in the hallway,” Ty explained. “We’re like, ‘Oh, what’s up, my n**ga… Let’s go in the studio tonight,’ and he called me.”</p>
<p>He further revealed they “did another song” that night, and later told Rocky, “Bro, you really just shot the f**king half-court shot at the f**king buzzer.”</p>
<p>A$AP Rocky is also preparing for the release of his long-awaited album, <em>Don’t Be Dumb</em>, scheduled to arrive on Jan. 16, 2026. The 15-track project, including two bonus tracks, is anticipated to feature previously released singles like “pray4dagang” and the J. Cole collaboration, “Ruby Rosary.”</p>
<p>In anticipation of the album’s launch, Rocky has partnered with Bilt to assist with rent payments for residents in the Harlem building where he grew up. “For me, it’s always been about your community and neighborhood. Harlem made me who I am, from uptown to downtown, and that connection to place is everything,” Rocky stated. </p>
<p>He continued, “When Bilt said they wanted to cover rent for everyone in the same building where I grew up, that hit different. That’s not just business, that’s understanding what community really means.”</p>
