Rap phenomena TYLER, THE CREATOR released an expanded edition – with
a scary Halloween-esque cover (above) – of his 8th LP CHROMAKOPIA.
There’s one new song on named MOTHER. Vintage T,TC.
Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

Although American superstar rapper TYLER, THE CREATOR sais a few months ago that
he hadn’t planned new music this year, started to tease just the opposite. After a couple
of preview tracks he just launched album number, named CHROMAKOPIA.
The Guardian (British newspaper): “Full of switchback turns, the rapper’s unsettled
and unsettling seventh album zaps from Beach Boys harmonies to G-funk synths and
from boasts to self-loathing… An album that began with its author denying its existence, Chromakopia ultimately seems to manifest a state of confusion, in which everything is in
flux and nothing is quite as it initially seems. It achieves that to enthralling and exhausting effect.”
At times Tyler raps and rants faster than a riot-gun. Like a non-stop word tsunami.
But most of the time we get bluesy and soulful reveries/stories that bring, yes, Stevie Wonder to mind here and there, all smoothly orchestrated. Up and down he goes. So
will you. Wake up, roll over and have a bracing way to start the day.
