Biography

 

When Tyler, The Creator first started gaining national notoriety around 2008, it would’ve been easy to dismiss him as cheap shock—a snotty kid willing to push every button (mass murder, rape, cannibalism) just to get a little attention. Within a few years, he’d evolved into one of hip-hop’s genuine polymaths, a self-contained brand who not only rapped, wrote, produced, and art-directed but also designed clothes and created television shows; whose vision—violent, surreal, sarcastic, and disarmingly introspective—captured the id of an audience who didn’t know how to relate to their feelings but weren’t going to keep them in any longer. Raised in Los Angeles County, Tyler (born Tyler Okonma in 1991) started experimenting with music in his early teens, cofounding the Odd Future collective in 2007, a group whose members included fellow iconoclasts Earl Sweatshirt, Frank Ocean, and Syd Tha Kyd. Influenced by the grab-bag eclecticism of Pharrell Williams and his own tirelessly messed-up inner monologues, Tyler’s official debut, Goblin, came out in 2011. (“Wow, life’s a cute b***h full of estrogen,” he rapped on the title track. “And when she gives you lemons, n***a, throw ’em at pedestrians.”) Gritty, nightmarish, and barbed, the album established him as a kind of antihero: an artist whose bad reputation only made his fans love him more. Wolf (2013) and Cherry Bomb (2015) explored similar psychological territory with increasing nuance; his productions got more sophisticated, too, exploring soul-jazz (“FIND YOUR WINGS”), Latin music (“Tamale”), and ’90s R&B (“Awkward”) in ways that were both discordant and colorful, a full rainbow of bad feeling. In 2017, he released Flower Boy, an album whose vulnerability and eclecticism represented a major step up—a maturation from young punk to complex young man. It ended up being nominated for a Grammy. Meanwhile, he’d found the time to create not one but three television shows (Loiter Squad, Nuts + Bolts, The Jellies!), launch a vibrant streetwear line (Golf Wang), and spearhead an annual festival called the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. Like Kanye and Pharrell before him, and artists such as the BROCKHAMPTON collective after, Tyler represents a new chapter in hip-hop, toying with identity and sexuality, and drawing on influences—skate culture, therapy speak, the kaleidoscopic weirdness of life on the internet—that help to expand rap’s vocabulary while still keeping continuity with the past. In 2019, he released IGOR, his most mood-driven, soul-baring work to date. After experimenting with Technicolor funk and R&B, Tyler returned to his more linear hip-hop roots with CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, a constellation of tightly wound flows, dynamic production, and sleek wordplay. Laced with narration from DJ Drama and features from artists like 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Pharrell, Brent Faiyaz, and more, it was Tyler at his most eclectic—and somehow his most cohesive, too. He expanded on that vision with 2023's CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale, a deluxe edition that doubled down on the hard raps and Tyler's status as a modern icon. - Apple Music

Can imagine that was partly due to shops wanting to clear their stock and reducing prices!

And people couldn't be sure they'd get another chance to buy it.

This was much higher on Spotify through the week, shame to see it so low officially
I just cannot get into Tyler, The Creator's music for some reason. But Like Him is the best record I have heard from him.
i really thought like him would be an easy post christmas top 10 :o shame its seemed to have stalled a bit :( i hope sticky also gets a top 40 moment in the future. not fussed on tv off, easily the weakest of kendricks tracks, luther and squabble up are miles better
'Like Him' hasn't fully clicked for me yet but I did really enjoy CHROMAKOPIA on the whole, good on Lola for having such a successful couple of months too.

“Close To You” isn’t bad - Gracie in general is growing on me a bit though I still feel she lacks her own identity.

 

“Like Him” is really good - the best I’ve heard from this Tyler release I think.

Biography

 

Viral sensation-turned-pop upstart Addison Rae (born Addison Rae Easterling in 2000 in Lafayette, LA) became known in the late 2010s for her dance moves, amassing millions of followers online. After venturing into podcasting and makeup, she parlayed those fans into an entertainment career, releasing the breathy single “Obsessed” in 2021 and starring in the gender-flipped She’s All That remake He’s All That the same year. Rae’s long-in-the-works debut EP, AR came out in 2023, and cuts like “2 die 4,” a minimalist collaboration with pop futurist Charli xcx, and “Nothing On (But The Radio),” a storming electro-pop anthem, showed her hitmaking acumen and flirtatious personality. In 2024 she appeared with Charli once again on “The von dutch remix with addison rae and a. g. cook,” a glitchy reworking of the lead single from her frequent collaborator’s expectation-defying BRAT. - Apple Music

Biography

 

Tyla creates music that is at once indelibly South African and ambitiously global. It’s a unique balance, one molded by the sounds she heard as a child growing up in Johannesburg. Not only did Tyla (born in 2002) listen to plenty of homegrown music, including Kwaito and Afropop, but she was also exposed to ’90s American R&B greats like Aaliyah and Brandy. As with so many artists coming of age in the 21st century, the motivated teenager utilized social media to showcase her swiftly evolving talent; she then teamed up with South African producer Kooldrink for “Getting Late.” The 2019 single is a mesmerizing realization of Tyla’s love for bridging styles. The killer rhythm track is rooted in amapiano, and the singer’s translucent vocals reveal stunning versatility: hypnotic enough for dance music yet packed with pop’s effortless catchiness and R&B’s undiluted soulfulness. Tyla swirled all of those elements together seamlessly for Tyla, her 2024 eponymous debut that crystallized her status as an emerging global superstar. Powered by the irresistible "Water," not to mention the Gunna- and Skillibeng-aided "Jump," the project proved her ability to unite people and genres on the global embassy of the dance floor. - Apple Music
