Tyler, the Creator's New Album: 'Don't Tap the Glass' Drops!
South African fans, get ready! Tyler, the Creator has officially unleashed his brand new album, 'Don't Tap the Glass', much to the delight of his global fanbase. After a week of cryptic teases, the rapper finally dropped the 10-track LP on Monday, July 21st, following up on his 2024 release, 'Chromakopia'.
'Don't Tap the Glass': What We Know
The album, released via Columbia Records, clocks in at a concise 28 minutes and 30 seconds. Tyler himself described the music as being "MADE FOR BODY MOVEMENT. FULL VOLUME," suggesting a high-energy, dance-focused experience for listeners. So, crank up the volume, South Africa!
The Build-Up
Leading up to the release, Tyler dropped hints, including images of a Louis Vuitton bag, a mannequin's head, and a trumpet player, all marked with the date July 21st. He even had a massive figure enclosed in a clear box with the words "Don't Tap the Glass" outside his Brooklyn concert at the Barclays Center.
Merch Alert!
For those wanting to fully immerse themselves in the 'Don't Tap the Glass' experience, a range of merchandise is available on Tyler's Golf Wang site. This includes vinyl, t-shirts, and hats, allowing fans to rep the new record in style. The official website also provides three instructions hinting at the album's theme: "Body Movement. No Sitting Still," "Only Speak in Glory. Leave Your Baggage at Home" and, of course, "Don’t Tap the Glass."
Unlike 'Chromakopia,' which featured a star-studded list of collaborators, 'Don't Tap the Glass' appears to be a solo effort. So, get ready to experience pure, unadulterated Tyler, the Creator energy! Stream it now on your favourite platform, South Africa!
