Tyler, The Creator's eighth studio album Chromakopia has finally been released, shocking fans with unexpected musical guests.

Sexxy Red, Lil Wayne, Schoolboy Q, GloRilla, Childish Gambino, Daniel Caesar, Doechii, Tees Touchdown, and Willow are all bold features on the project, amongst more cameos. The 33-year-old rapper had thrown fans off his scent only weeks prior to the announcement of the album, sharing during a festival set that he wasn't making music, adding, "F—k features."

With the album shockingly featuring a star-studded cast, the surprise only brought more excitement to first listens. The artist's first album in three years, fans' immediate reactions to the project have been overwhelmingly positive.

The album is a glimpse of Tyler's current life. He shared during his listening event in Los Angeles Sunday evening, "The album kinda just turned into me taking a bunch of sh-t my mom told me as a kid. Now that I'm 33, all that stuff is like 'Oh, that's what the f—k she was talking about. People are getting older, folks having families now, and all I got is a new Ferrari. Life is life-ing and I don't know, I just wanted to write about stuff that I think about when I'm dolo."

He shouts out long-time friend and The Bear star Lionel Boyce on "Rah Tah Tah," noting his career pivot earning him an Emmy nomination. "Me and Lionel boys from drama class, my boy can act now." He also honors Kendrick Lamar on the same track, exclaiming, "It's really Odd Future, all those other n—s whacked out / The biggest out the city, after Kenny, that's a fact now."

Tyler is set to bring Chromakopia on a world tour in February 2025, kicking off in St. Paul, Minnesota alongside Lil Yachty.
