“ If the world was ending, I’d probably grab some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a bunch of water, and I’d probably go crazy.” The quote is from the artist recognized this month. He is not new in the industry and has won 2 Grammys. I am talking about Tyler, the Creator, an American rapper and hip-hop artist. He has hit the number 1 chart 2 times with his 2021 album, Call Me If You Get Lost, and 2019 album, Igor. He is known in the music industry for having a positive energetic, carefree personality. His musical journey has been long and is just starting to unravel. He describes music to be his self-discovery, and now with his newly released album CHROMAKOPIA, we get a better insight into his journey. 

Tyler Gregory Okonma was born in 1991 making him 33 years old today, he became well known in the 2000s after internet videos of him and comedy sketches appeared online. Before his solo career started he was part of the Loiter Squad, a television series for Adult Swim, but after making 3 albums Tyler backed away from the group and started to become a name for himself.  He has collaborated in the past with artists like Lana Del Ray, Billie Eilish, and others. His fame has seen exponential growth with hits like Deathcamp, and his very successful album Cherry Bomb. 

Just a week ago the star released his newest album CHROMAKOPIA which has already gained much attention, notching over 85 million streams and averaging 6 million streams per song. The album is about Tyler’s self-discovery journey as a singer and his search for understanding in his 30s. So if you enjoy hip-hop, rap, and romantic and meaningful full lyrics with a funny and sometimes horror outlook, Tyler, the Creator is the perfect artist for you to try out this month.
