Tyler, the Creator Drops New Album ‘Chromakopia,’ Featuring Childish Gambino, Doechii and More

2 days ago 9

Tyler, the Creator rarely does anything by the book, and rather than dropping his new album on the standard release date of 9 p.m. PT on Thursday, he broke with convention and released his latest solo album “Chromakopia” at 3 a.m. PT on a Monday.

The album features guest appearances from Daniel Caesar, Teezo Touchdown, Childish Gambino, Schoolboy Q, Doechii, and on the track “Sticky,” Lil Wayne, GloRilla and Sexyy Red. The album was produced entirely by Tyler except for the opening track, “St. Chroma,” which was coproduced with Sault founder Inflo (Michael Kiwanuka, Cleo Sol, Adele).

The release culminated a brief but busy rollout for the album, which was first announced just 12 days ago. The album was teased with a snippet of the cryptic “St. Chroma,” the single “Noid” alongside another video, and the announcement of the lineup for the 10th edition of his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival (which is set to take place in Los Angeles on November 16 and 17), announced a world tour featuring special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas, and hosted an album listening at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The album is the first new music from Tyler since the release early last year of the expanded version of his excellent 2021 album “Call Me If You Get Lost” album.

The dates for his seven month world tour follow below:
