A$AP Rocky 'Punk Rocky' by Folkert Verdoorn, Simon Becks

Rob Ulitski - 7th Jan 2026
Folkert Verdoorn, Simon Becks and A$AP Rocky himself direct a star-studded promo for the rapper's lead-off track from his first album in eight years.Â
The video fir Punk Rocky is a slice of suburban surrealism, featuring Winona Ryder as an adoring neighbour to punk-styled Rocky and his pogoing pals -  also featuring a stream of cameos, including from Thundercat, A$AP Nast, the Williams Twins and a ripped Danny Elfman on drums.Â
In the madcap narrative that unfolds, Rocky and his buddies run up against the law and Ryder's grotesquely pumped-up, super-angry husband. Treading the line between body horror, action film and dark comedy, it's an feverish amalgam of different inspirations, coming together to form something immediately iconic and exciting.Â
A week into January, and if this is a sign of things to come in 2026, it's going to be a memorable year for music videos.Â
