The new album reportedly features guest appearances from rap stars Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
There are two new song titles already available for purchase: the intro “DEATHCAMP” and the longer “F*****G YOUNG/PERFECT.” However, the most important news is that the album is due out on Monday, April 13; meaning fans will only have to wait a little over four more days to get their hands on a brand new Tyler album. He is having one hell of a week. Based on a quick iTunes search, it appears that Tyler’s album features a song with Lil Wayne and Kanye West. (Complex)
This week, Tyler launched his very own mobile application called Golf Media.
Hey kids, great news: Tyler, the Creator’s previously teased app, which is called Golf Media, is available for download now. Its first content will launch on Wednesday at 9PM PST; last month, Tyler described it as an online media destination that would be: “basically my brain, in one place.” (The FADER)
The West Coast rapper previously talked about the app’s potential.
In February, Tyler called the app his “vision”—his attempt to make “my own MTV or my own Cartoon Network,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s not about the money for me,” he said, “I wanted my own network. I wanted to do something cool. It’s always about me doing something that I think is awesome.” (Pitchfork)
