With the 8th Studio album Tyler, the Creator has released one of his biggest selling albums yet, titled Chromakopia. This review will be based off a start with an overview of all songs, production, lyrics, and my overall enjoyment with the album.

The intro to this album was a very strong start with its opener being “St. Chroma”. With help from American Singer/Songwriter Daniel Caesar who was beautiful on this song and who aided the main message being about how Tyler paved his own way to his success and how he wants to inspire this next generation to do the same.

The intro was followed by to me an outlier in this album with “Rah Tah Tah,” which is seemingly about his wealth and his immense pride in being able to acquire such wealth.

“Noid” was the third song in this album which I felt was a very informative song about the paranoia Tyler and likely other celebrities struggle with from their obsessive fans.

“Darling, I” was a piece into Tylers love life where he expresses his dismay in his dating experiences and how he feels that there may not be a love out there for him. Throughout the track, I felt like it was almost like he was trying to convince himself that he was content with his lack of love.

“Hey Jane” was a very captivating song with Tyler writing about the two sides of an unplanned pregnancy and the disagreement of him and the person who he got into such a situation with.

“I Killed You,” this song was a beautiful song about the stipulation around Black hair and how it has consistently been judged and shamed upon by society. Tyler’s message behind this is to try to uplift and show his love and appreciation for the hair of his and his culture.

“Judge Judy” is a relatively straight forward song about a friend that Tyler had a romantic engagement with who unfortunately had passed.

“Sticky”, is more like an anthem than just a song. The sound of this song is something that will very quickly get you pumped up. It is an overall just fun song.

“Take Your Mask Off” has beautifully expressed message about how there are many people who have a mask to hide the real them out of shame or embarrassment, but you should always want to express the real you. Tyler takes this message even further by sharing how he “wore a mask” and how he rid himself of it.

“Tomorrow,” was about the pressures of his close friends, family and societal standards beginning to weigh on him with him getting older. For example, how he doesn’t have kids or a spouse.

“Thought I Was Dead,” was more about the disrespect he feels he has gotten and how he disregards it all.

“Like Him,” a tragic song about how he wonders about the resemblance of him and his absent father; this song was truly the highlight to me. It was by far the most vulnerable track on this list.

“Balloon,” a surprisingly upbeat song considering the track it follows, to me it kind of threw off the flow of the album but it was fun song, nonetheless.

The closer to this album, “I Hope You Find Your Way Home”, is essentially a culmination of all Tylers fears, recent stresses and him coming to terms and accepting that he’ll be okay.

Overall, the album was an amazing scope into Tyler’s life, and I highly recommend it if you are the type for a rap hybrid type of album.
