While he’s still on the road touring in support of CHROMAKOPIA, Tyler, The Creator unleashed his Don’t Tap the Glass album on Monday morning (July 21).
Tyler debuted cuts from his new LP at a $5 show in Los Angeles on Sunday night (July 20) before he continued to buck the trend with another weekday release for fans to indulge in as they wake up for school, work or whatever comes as part of their weekday routine.
The Grammy-winning rapper announced the album at his Brooklyn show on Friday night and had a “Don’t Tap the Glass” exhibit at various locations around New York, including the Barclays Center and the Oculus at the World Trade Center.
The cover art finds a shirtless Tyler in a matching cap and red pants combo that could be inspired by LL COOL J, 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin and Ludacris’ oversized muscle arms featured in the “Get Back” video.
Prior to the album’s arrival, Tyler attempted to quell fans’ expectations and hype surrounding the project. “Yall better get them expectations and hopes down this aint no concept nothing,” he wrote on X regarding Don’t Tap the Glass.
It’s Tyler, The Creator’s second album in less than a year and ninth solo effort overall, as CHROMAKOPIA hit streaming services in October. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 299,000 album-equivalent units earned in the shortened tracking week. It was also ranked as Billboard‘s seventh best album in all genres of 2024.
