Chromakopia
Tyler, The Creator
By Maeve C.
Monday at 6 a.m. Eastern was an unusual slot: Tyler, the Creator released Chromakopia then rather than on the industry’s usual Friday. He had revealed the title, date and cover eleven days earlier, after teasing the opening “St. Chroma” on social media.
Tyler wrote, produced and arranged the album, working with longtime collaborator Vic Wainstein. Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, Lil Wayne, Lola Young, Santigold and Schoolboy Q are among the guests, and “Noid” went out as the lead single a week before release. Chromakopia debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
