Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator has revealed three different images that serve as the cover art for his upcoming third album Wolf, releasing on April 2nd.
Revealing the covers on Instagram, the West Coast rapper said that he is “so nervous and excited but more scared” about releasing the LP. “I ALWAYS THINK WHAT IF EVERYONE HATES IT AND IM A FAILURE COME NEXT YEAR. SO TO KTT AND ALL THE OF FANS I LUB U,” he wrote.
One cover features a close-up of Tyler’s face, while another shows two Tylers: one wearing a “Wolf” baseball cap and the other posing with an inhaler in his hand. The third cover, an animated portrait by Mark Ryden, shows Tyler on a bicycle and an eyeball embedded in a tree trunk.
He also announced the “Wolf” tour on his website. Fans who purchase bundle tickets to the show will receive a copy of the deluxe version of the CD, which features a fold-out poster of the full album cover art designed by Ryden, a limited embroidered patch, a “Wolf” calendar and a 24-page booklet featuring lyrics and artwork. Buyers will also get a pair of exclusive socks.
The “Wolf” tour kicks off Columbus, Ohio’s Newport Music Hall on March 12th. Stops on the trek include Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Los Angeles, California. The tour concludes on April 11th at Portland, Oregon’s Hawthorne Theatre.
Tyler, who recently collaborated with Miley Cyrus for her upcoming album, initially intended to release Wolf in May 2012 and then pushed it to November. He also had a joint LP in the works with Earl Sweatshirt titled EarWolf. He previously released Bastard and Goblin in 2009 and 2011, respectively.

cant wait to the release
IT’S ABOUT FUKING TIME.
Wack gimmick ass rapper.
The 3rd one Is The Best
Hell yes!
Can’t wait
Agree with @WOLFHALEY first 2 was okay just not that good, The 3rd ones better
Stick to making beats
Tyler is the only one that’s people are checking for…y’all should checkout http://www.thegrandreport.com too, they usually have some good reads as well
this nigga face is soo funny lookin
i’m so fucking hyped for this, dammn
The covers are hilarious, I give him that, but he’s still a shitty ass rapper.
Shitty rapper, shittier album covers…. Listen to Buckshot homie!!!! Stop Rapping!!!
shut up you fucking fag buckshot sucks nuts
U obviously need to listen to buckshot too. Because that is simply not true.
this mothafucka looks so fuckin DUMB !
Most people look at the way he behaves and don’t even give his music a chance. I’ve actually heard people call him garbage and then admit they’ve never even listened to him. He’s a dope producer, song writer, plus he directs videos. True talent!
Keep fooling yourself, everyone’s heard him, he’s trash.
Yeah Mufucka you know you aint coming to Detroit on your tour cause what happened last time. Detroit will MERK this fool if he ever comes here again.
Word-up!
hell nah, yall reckless ova there, its like a fuken jungle
NIgga fuck the Lupesection from KTT
bunch of faggots!
:hah: YOUNGGGGGG
The KTT forum in general is both utterly and laughably despicable. Nearly all of the people in that Kanye-stanning forum are severely ignorant, hypocritical, dickriding, sheepish, 4chan-behaving faggots. I’ve lurked the site a couple times, and all I see is a bunch of pathetic, delusional dumbasses who viciously drive the dicks of the following:
Kanye West (okay)
Frank Ocean (decent)
Kendrick Lamar (decent)
Odd Future (meh)
Lil B (horrible)
The Weeknd (decent)
and a few other artists to the max on constant repeat.
If one doesn’t dickride those artists like y’all do, y’all will ridicule and profanely insult him/her like the emotional fucking retards that you all are.
KTT also has the nerve to say that Kanye is GOAT and that Lupe, Eminem, J.Cole, Nas, and several other decent/respectable artists are shit.
Odd Future Talk, which is filled with a bunch of profoundly sentimental, dick-devoted, trolling, idiotic stans, is as shitty as KanyeToThe by the way.
Niggas need to come to Florida! Jacksonville preferably
Gonna be better then that ASAP album..Rocky dissapointed man, the mixtape was hella dope tho with bass and brand new guys…The album was chode tho..
Ur smoking crack that album was way harder than the tape.
Yeah the album was waaay better than the tape, asap is bringing back real gangsta rap
That 2nd one is funny as hell
Come to Florida GotDammit.

Every Single Last Cover Is Trash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3eCmv17bd4
for real dx?…. The first and second are jokes not real covers….
the close up one is for sure a cover, the other might not be, but the close up selfie is. lol
huhhhh Shout out to my slime tyler for coming to studio last night was wild. See u on tour next week
go get that new WOLF album coming soon and that SF3 out now , real niggaz takin over WETHEBEST MH
Excited! Tyler is a great rapper and makes great music, so I’m looking forward to it.
cool
The first one would be the best cover, the second makes it seem like he doesnt care about the cd, and the third looks like an adult swim cartoon.
All three are not good if i had to choose id go with the second just for the comedy factor
Second cover. No question about it. Fucking do it.
I just realized he’s holding his asthma inhaler in the background of the 2nd cover.Could that shit get any more classic?
LOL, hell yea, that shit will go down in history. Epic cover.
GAYEST THING TO HAPPEN TO HIP HOP.. IMMATURE CHILD RAP.
Dx the first 2 is not the covers he said those was jokes the last one is the album cover
Killin em with #2 haha
front cover: 3rd
back cover: 2nd
deluxe cover” 1rd
1rd? please tell me that was a joke, it’s 1st
All trash just like his music!
He should do a mix tape w tony yayo
gay , dork n looser
Says the guy who spelled ‘loser’ wrong…..
hahahaha 2nd one is amazing!
I’d opt for the third if any
Third one is okay. The others show what a tool he is.
I fucking hate this guy…But that 2nd cover is easily the dopest album cover of the last 5 years.
“But that 2nd cover is easily the dopest album cover of the last 5 years.”
Hell no, get the fuck out of here! The first 2 the covers are poor, very cheap, and juvenile. I’ve seen much better fanmade album covers.
“I fucking hate this guy…”
I highly do not take this statement seriously after reading that last part of your sentence. The 2nd album cover is literally a fucking joke. Furthermore, you must like Tyler in some way.
This nigga always had the ugliest covers ever.
illuminati eye on third cover if u spot it u a fuckin goblin
Every eye is illuminati these days…. did you think it’s just a tree with an eye? Lmao SMH!.
At the concert in columbus on the 12th, before tyler came out they played hype songs like swag like ohio and i dont like. There was one by a girl, i think there were words like never lackin in it, does anyone know what it was
It’s definitely the most financially rewarding job I have ever had. I began this eight months/ago and straight away was making over ($)72 per-hour. I use the details on this website which has totally changed my life! Rich45.C0M_

My last paycheck was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do, Rich45.com_
