As soon as it was released, Call Me If You Get Lost was a commercial success, debuting at No.1 on the Billboard 200. Aside from that, it also earned him his second number-one album in the US, and a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rap Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
As it turns out, Tyler has gained quite a few accolades in recent months. Earlier this month, Call Me If You Get Lost, became a record-breaking vinyl seller of 2022.
In March the rapper revealed plans for a deluxe edition of the album. He also surprised fans with a few new singles including “DOGTOOTH” and “Sorry Not Sorry”
The project dropped on March 31.
Tyler recently explained on Twitter that a ton of material was left on the cutting room floor when he recorded his sixth album, and that he wanted fans to enjoy the outtakes as much as he did.

“CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST WAS THE FIRST ALBUM I MADE WITH ALOT OF SONGS THAT DIDNT MAKE THE FINAL CUT,” he wrote. “SOME OF THOSE SONGS I REALLY LOVE, AND KNEW THEY WOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, SO IVE DECIDED TO PUT A FEW OF THEM OUT.”
Hip Hop has been very good to Tyler, the Creator, and he doesn’t think twice about sharing his gratitude. Most recently, he outlined what rap music has to offer society as well as his love for the art form — according to him, being a rapper is “awesome.”

In a clip from the latest episode of Spotify’s RapCaviar Presents docuseries, which dropped on Hulu March 30, Tyler discusses the importance of the genre as an art form and why he loves being a rapper. He said he has no qualms about his musicianship, and truly enjoys making his living laying raps on tracks.
“We’re good with words. We’re good with rhythm. We know pockets. We hear a collection of sounds and one thing and say, ‘Ahh, I know what could go over this,’ that takes a skill,” he said.
