A$AP Rocky’s long-awaited comeback album, Don’t Be Dumb, is still nowhere in sight, but he does have two new songs in Spike Lee’s new movie, Highest 2 Lowest, which also features A$AP in a leading role. “Trunks” and “Both Eyes Closed” will both appear on the film’s soundtrack album, due Aug. 15, the same day the movie hits theaters.
