Tyler's work has always been a patchwork of ever-increasing palettes, and CMIYGL is his most complex to date. It proves a sharp left turn after the progressive pop of 2019's IGOR - but one that is realised with an unrelenting passion.
Working with the likes of Westside Gunn and Freddie Gibbs has revitalised the outright fun of T's verses - "AARGH, YOU LOOK MALNOURISHED" - as well as bringing the vivid storytelling of the former contrarian into subjects of vast personal import. Hosted by the legendary master-of-ceremonies, Tyler's latest LP imprints all the lessons of the last 8 years onto the raw rap talent of the Wolf era, combining visceral verses with expansive layers of production. Not two seconds into his sixth LP, CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, Tyler, the Creator boldly stakes his claim with rap: ""Y'all ready?" booms the voice of DJ Drama, before the iconic "GANGSTA GRIZZILZ" tag jolts the album to life.
