Tyler, the creator is bucking the system and releasing his next album on his own terms… his new album “Chromakopia” is arriving at the beginning of the week, unlike the music industry’s generic Friday release dates!!!
The Grammy-winning rap star opened up about his first single “St. Chroma” and his new merch line on Thursday…featuring a Dr. Doom-masked Tyler leading a legion of hooded soldiers through a dystopian desert as he warbled bars over a dirty beat.
Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram media.
Tyler donned the same mask for the cover of his “Chromakopia” album, which he revealed would be released on MONDAY, October 28th. whole week to enjoy the album!!!
His artistry has a reputation for going above and beyond, even as the young leader of Odd Future.
If you remember his interview at Camp Flog Gnaw with Nardwuar around this time last year, he frowned at silly rapper interviews … Tyler feels that Friday release dates – always at midnight – have led to audiences passively listening to new projects at the holidays.
If Tyler’s social experiment succeeds, the industry will likely copy and paste. His last two albums reached number one and his fans are hungry for new music!!!
