Tyler, The Creator is challenging the norm and unveiling his upcoming album on his own schedule … his latest project “Chromakopia” is set to launch at the start of the week, diverging from the music industry’s conventional Friday drop!!!
The Grammy-winning hip-hop sensation unveiled his premier single “St. Chroma” along with a fresh merchandise line on Thursday … featuring a Dr. Doom-like masked Tyler leading a brigade of cloaked figures through a desolate landscape as he delivers his verses over a gritty rhythm.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Tyler wore the same mask for the “Chromakopia” album artwork, which he announced would be released on MONDAY, October 28. You’ll have the entire week to savor the album!!!
His creative work is known for pushing boundaries, even during his tenure as the youthful head of Odd Future.
If you remember his Camp Flog Gnaw discussion with Nardwuar from about a year ago, he criticized trivial rapper interviews … Tyler believes that Friday release dates — particularly at midnight — have led fans to engage with new albums in a superficial manner at gatherings.
If Tyler’s social experiment succeeds, it’s probable the industry will look to replicate it. His two most recent albums topped the charts, and his fans are eagerly anticipating new melodies!!!
