Always one to march to the beat of his own drum, Tyler The Creator released two obscure videos that seem to preview new music on the way. The first short film titled “_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _” dropped Wednesday (May 1) on YouTube. The second clip “__________ ” debuted Friday (May 3).
“_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _” displays 18 video headshots of Tyler with a hair pick in his blonde afro. One of the Tyler heads eventually look into the camera before the teaser fades to black. The clip ends when the song starts, closing with the lyrics. “He’s coming.”
“__________ “ was filmed on a television set with the Odd Future co-founder dancing and shadowboxing. Fans commented their excitement for the possibility of new music from Tyler on his Instagram. Fellow artists, such as, A$AP Rocky, Pusha T, Solange, and more displayed elation as well.
His last album Flower Boy was released in 2017. The album spawned a 2018 Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album and a 4.5 out of 5 rating via HipHopDX.

IGOR – International God Of Rap? Big Russian Boss starts to panic
IGOR – Indecent Gay Ol Rapper is more like it
I miss Odd Future
I’m not into gay hip hop. Must be racism
If you don’t like any of Tyler’s verses or beats you must not be all that into hip hop period.
Prettt sure I listen to hip hop because I like it. That’s an odd statement. “ if you don’t like Tyler you don’t like hip hop”. How uneducated and feeble is your mind?
Your moms a hoe, Tyler is straight up one of the best artists in the history of hip hop so if you don’t appreciate his style then you most likely don’t actually like hip hop
Kill people burn shit fuck school
Without Dr Frankenstien this album ain’t goner work
LAST ALBUM WAS TRASH…
Fuck you pussy
Tyler, get your tiara wearing ass off the comments section.
Trash…suck Tyler off why dont cha?
Nah flower boy was a great album. At least he rapped.
Tyler is officially not a rapper anymore
Socks as
is he wearing blackface on that cover??
LOOOOL THIS SUCKS WTF. It’s just all instrumentals and shit. I guess Tyler isn’t a rapper anymore. Might as well just become a producer because the beats are fire tho.
Why is no one saying it..?? He is fucking mimicking Ol’ Dirty Bastard,, Using Dirts style. Now with these videos it’s like he is trying to plain out be him.. Regardless im a Tyler fan. Jus saying tho..
U are crazy
That’s not even close to accurate.
I couldn’t make it through a single “track”. Very disappointing. Stick to selling socks and overpriced t-shirts Tyler.
Very disappointed in this album. Basically doesnt rap throughout the whole album. Trash
This is Tylers best album imo. Honestly this shit is too nice!
the album is a relationship from start to finish. from falling in love to breaking up. dope af.
I think this project is for his gay fans….just saying-Phil
It’s very experimental. I didn’t finish the whole album, but I liked what i heard, it just wasn’t what I expected. Cherry Bomb was experimental too.
Give this man a grammy. Best rap album of the decade. Tyler in that GOAT status homies
Gayest hip hop album in history. They’re playing this shit loud at Fire Island.
