Tyler, The Creator just dropped his new album, Chromakopia, on Monday, October 28th, and the hype is REAL! After eight long days of waiting since the teaser, fans are ready to vibe out. Everyone’s buzzing to check out those fresh beats and Tyler’s dope lyrics—seriously, he never disappoints. It’s the perfect time to dive into Chromakopia and see how it ranks among his other iconic projects.

A lot of the tracks get super personal. Right from the start of most songs, you’ll hear Tyler’s mom, Bonita Smith, dropping some wisdom and sharing her hopes for him. She’s always had his back, especially since his dad was MIA during his childhood. Tyler opens up about how that impacted him emotionally in his tracks.

One of the standouts is “Like Him,” where he gets real about the pressure of being compared to his dad, who he barely knew. Then there’s “Noid”—short for Paranoid—where he spills his thoughts on the struggles that come with fame, like having zero privacy and people judging him constantly. It’s rough being in the spotlight when everyone’s dissecting your every move. In the entertainment world, it feels like your past is always on blast, which adds to the stress. Tyler is so relatable for talking about all this.

Can we talk about the FEATURES? The collabs on this album are totally wild! He’s got ScHoolboy Q, Doechii, Teezo Touchdown, Daniel Caesar, and then Lil Wayne, Glorilla, and Sexyy Red all in one track! Like, what a lineup! He gathered so many talented people and made ART. Tyler, The Creator lives up to his name for sure!
