Tyler, the Creator Reveals 3 New ‘CHROMAKOPIA’ Updates

Fans had been ready for Tyler, the Creator to drop his next project, but he had been keeping everything under wraps — until October 16. First dropping “St. Chroma,” Tyler created a whole new world for his fans to dive into. Not following the delayed rollout style favored by the likes of Ye and Carti, Tyler’s been revealing more and more news about Chromakopia as the October 28th, 6 am EST release date approaches.

Tour, vinyls, and a listening party

Shortly after Tyler announced the new album, green trucks with the album title began showing up across the country and were able to be found via the official map. 

However, there wasn’t just the trucks to get excited about. On October 21, Tyler dropped another song off the project called NOID with an accompanying music video. Featuring his bestie Ayo Edebiri mid-crash out, the comments were filled with everything from GOAT emojis to praises about him being the best producer ever (behind Ye). 

But wait — there’s more! He announced his vinyl presale on October 22, and to the delight of his fans, he finally announced his next big world tour. 

Going back on the road with Paris Texas and Lil Yachty, the tour starts in February 2025 and goes all the way until September. He will be traveling through North America, Oceania and Europe. 

For those that live in the LA area, though, he announced that he would be playing the album in full on October 27th at the Intuit Dome, but don’t expect him to be performing. He will just be lip-synching along to the new songs (the one page he took out of Ye’s rollout book). The event costs $5, once again showing that Tyler is for the people. 

“You’re doing it all the right way, man. Class act,” X user bruddareese said in an October 24 post. 

Even if you aren’t waking up for the album’s early drop time, there’s still plenty of music and events to look forward to from Tyler, the Creator. 

Lil Uzi Vert is Delivering His Fastest Rollout Ever

It seems that rollout season might really be upon us. Like a Batman signal to the sky, Lil Uzi Vert has returned to the scene when we all needed him most. While rumors of Eternal Atake 2 have been swirling for months, a teaser of what’s to come finally dropped on October 23—with no features from Uzi at all. 

Uzi the Earthling is in his Eternal Atake 2 era

The track “Uzi the Earthling! (TV Show Theme)” is reminiscent of theme songs like The Jetsons or The Flintstones. While the track discussed his style and how “he is the one to see,” it didn’t mention anything about EA2. However, fans began noticing that the logo from the theme song was now covering every album on Uzi’s Apple Music page. 

Besides the new song and updated album covers, Uzi remained silent until hours later. 

He dropped the album cover for EA2 with his official return to social media after months of being off the grid. With a scheduled release date of November 1, Uzi also dropped the out-of-this-world album trailer. 

The theories have already started rolling in about what this era means for Uzi and the symbolism behind the cover and trailer. 

“The Eternal Atake had approximately 15-20 minutes worth of “skit” material Uzi had to cut down to around a few minutes for the album…Could EA2 and the TV show along with it be Uzi’s original vision for the album? The TV show could go along with the album,” X user Lol (Uzi Vert) said in an October 23 post. 

Regardless, the hip-hop community is just happy to have the new project drop and finally hear what Uzi has had in store this whole time.
