If you’ve been following Tyler, the Creator’s journey, you know there’s been tremendous change in his craft. From Goblin to Flower Boy, it’s been a steady transition from ‘hard as fuck’ to ‘chill and in touch with my emotions’. It is no surprise that Tyler’s 6th album: Igor, would generate so much excitement among his fanbase. I personally was eager to see how much his craft has changed from the previous album.
In Igor, Tyler explores his emotions unapologetically as he talks about love, being in love and breaking up. He also seems to be defining his sexuality as he talks about being in love with a man. Igor features Tyler singing a lot more than in his previous work; along with features from Kanye West, CeeLo Green and Playboy Carti. Let’s not forget about the absolutely amazing production also done by Tyler himself. To put it simply: it’s nostalgic, upbeat, a lot of harmonization and kinda makes me feel like I’m in a musical [???] LOL.
One last thing I absolutely have to shoutout is Tyler’s blond wig in the visuals for EARFQUAKE. Totally digging his style in all the visuals for this album.
Check out Tyler breakdown the album here.

If you’re nostalgic about hip hop from the 90s / 2000’s (and already heard them all), check out, “Here I Go” by Kash Doll. This song reminds me of the music that my uncles would be listening to when I went over to my Grandma’s house when I was a kid. After catching the old school vibe, I dug a little deeper and I discovered that Kash Doll actually sampled ‘Here I go’ by Mystikal. I also caught a hint of E-40 in her flow and on the beat!

GoldLink named his new album ‘Diaspora’ and Wow… the title fits the album so well. As someone who considers herself part of the diaspora (Haitian-American living in China), it’s always dope to find music that speaks to every part of me. ‘Diaspora’ does just that, Goldlink combined afrobeat vibes with his usual hip-hop vibes which resulted in basically what so many of us immigrant kids are: a combo of both (or more) of our worlds.
Check out Goldlink touring with Tyler, The Creator! Dates here.
GoldLink also brought on some major afrobeat superstars to feature on the album, we’re talking Wizkid and Maleek Berry. This album is basically your soundtrack for those mornings (or afternoons) when you’re just chillin’ on your Airbnb porch (or in a hammock somewhere) during your tropical vacation. Some honorary tracks off the album are:
– Zulu Screams (ft Maleek Berry & Bibi Bourelly)
– Joke Ting (ft Ari PenSmith)
– U Say (ft Tyler, The Creator & Jay Prince )
– Spanish Song
