Welcome to Chromakopia.
Tyler, the Creator’s new album, his first since 2021’s Grammy-winning Call Me If You Get Lost (and its 2023 continuation billed as The Estate Sale), is being rolled out on a day not known for full album releases. Fridays, instead, have been the industry standard for nearly a decade now, with Tuesdays previously holding that status among labels.
It’s been discussed at length since Tyler first started teasing Chromakopia, but for those who may have missed it, his past remarks on the inherent disrespect of artists having their long-gestating work haplessly unloaded in the middle of the night at the end of the work week are always worth revisiting.
Ahead of the new album, Tyler gave fans an early look at the latest universe he’s crafted with a video for “NOID” featuring The Bear star Ayo Edebiri. He also let fans know that physical versions of the album, namely vinyl, were available for those in search of a more tangible listening experience.
Step into Chromakopia here. Those recruited for Tyler's latest include Childish Gambino, Teezo Touchdown, GloRilla, Lil Wayne, Sexyy Red, Daniel Caesar, Schoolboy Q, and Doechii. On the evening of the album's release, Tyler staged a Ye-esque listening experience at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
In 2025, Tyler will be taking Chromakopia on the road with specia guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas. See here for dates and ticket info.
