CHROMAKOPIA by Tyler, the Creator

CHROMAKOPIA, Tyler, the Creator's eighth studio album, dropped on Columbia on October 28, 2024, three years after Call Me If You Get Lost, and he wrote, produced and arranged every bit of it himself. The frame is a diary read aloud by his mother, Bonita Smith, her voice stitching together episodes from his past track by track.

Musically it circles back to the jazz- and soul-soaked warmth of Flower Boy and Igor, then roughs it up, with a guest list running from Lil Wayne, Doechii and GloRilla to Santigold, Lola Young, Schoolboy Q and Daniel Caesar. Critics loved the lyricism and production and even counted its messy, confusing streak in its favor. It opened at number one in nine countries, his third chart-topper in the US among them, and earned Grammy nominations for Album of the Year, Best Rap Album and Best Album Cover, with "Sticky" and "Darling, I" nominated too.
