Tyler, The Creator drops ninth album ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’ amid CHROMAKOPIA tour
Tyler, The Creator has released his ninth studio album, Don’t Tap the Glass, arriving unexpectedly on Monday. The new project lands less than a year after CHROMAKOPIA, continuing the Grammy-winning artist’s prolific output and creative streak.
Ahead of the release, Tyler previewed tracks at a $5 concert in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. The album’s announcement came during his Brooklyn performance, followed by themed installations appearing across New York City, including the Barclays Center and the Oculus at the World Trade Center.
The cover art features a shirtless Tyler wearing red trousers and a matching cap, evoking vintage hip-hop influences. The image echoes style references from LL COOL J, 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’, and Ludacris’ bold visuals in “Get Back.”
The album features 10 songs. Below is the complete tracklist.
- Big Poe
- Sugar On My Tongue
- Sucka Free
- Mommanem
- Stop Playing With Me
- Ring Ring Ring
- Don't Tap That Glass / Tweakin'
- Don't You Worry Baby
- I'll Take Care of You
- Tell Me What It Is
Despite fan speculation, Tyler tempered expectations on X, reflecting his intent to release music without narrative framing, focusing purely on sound and expression.
