A$AP Rocky is preparing a special performance to honor A$AP Yams during Yams Day 2026. The event, set to be livestreamed on Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch, will feature a “cinematic, city-spanning performance” bringing his forthcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, to life.
A Tribute and New Music
Rocky announced his participation in Amazon Music’s “Songline” series on Tuesday, January 13. The livestream is scheduled for Sunday, January 18, at 9 p.m. ET. Orchestrations for the performance will be provided by Danny Elfman, and fellow A$AP Mob members are expected to make appearances.
Rocky stated, “In celebration of my brother A$AP Yams, performing in New York is always special and a full-circle moment. Yams believed in the vision [before] everyone. I want to thank Amazon Music ‘Songline’ for allowing me to celebrate these moments.”
