Featuring appearances from Pharrell, Lil Uzi Vert and more.
Contemporary rap trailblazer Tyler, The Creator‘s new album Call Me If You Get Lost has arrived. The album features contributions from the likes of Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, Pharrell, Ty Dolla $ign, 42 Dugg, Brent Faiyaz, Frank Ocean and DJ Drama.
Bearing the same chameleonic nature as its predecessors IGOR and Flower Boy, the latest chapter in the Odd Future alumni’s evolution is bonded by a return to slick and confident raps whilst ambitiously manoeuvring a broad spectrum of sonic ideas from sultry, wind-led jazz funk and maximalist horn-centric early 2000s R&B to swirling, humid psychedelic passages and much more.
Conversation surrounding the possible arrival of a new album from Tyler, The Creator first materialised two weeks ago when billboards began to appear in cities across the globe featuring the phrase “Call Me If You Get Lost” and a telephone number which when dialled, would connect callers to a pre-recorded exchange between Tyler and a woman believed to be his mother. Thereafter a series of video previews were shared offering a glimpse in to the musical direction that the album would pursue.
