Tyler, the Creator finally drops new album IGOR

Kanye West, Playboi Carti, and Lil Uzi Vert are credited as contributors

Tyler, the Creator has finally dropped IGOR, his first full-length release since 2017’s Flower Boy, with Kanye West, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, and Al Green named among its contributors.

The highly-anticipated release follows a series of teasers that were drip-fed to fans over the past couple of weeks. Brief snippets of “IGOR’S THEME,” “WHATSGOOD,” “A BOY IS A GUN,” and “NEW MAGIC WAND” were shared on YouTube and across his social channels.

IGOR is also available for order on vinyl via GOLF WANG and comes with a choice of two cover artworks. Sharing the record on Twitter, Tyler posted in block caps: “DON’T GO INTO THIS EXPECTING A RAP ALBUM. DON’T GO INTO THIS EXPECTING ANY ALBUM. JUST GO, JUMP INTO IT.”

He adds: "IGOR. THIS IS NOT BASTARD. THIS IS NOT GOBLIN. THIS IS NOT WOLF. THIS IS NOT CHERRY BOMB. THIS IS NOT FLOWER BOY. THIS IS IGOR… AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO PAINT A PICTURE AND TELL YOU MY FAVOURITE MOMENTS I WOULD RATHER YOU FORM YOUR OWN.”
