This is Tyler's masterpiece, a Grammy-winning and US number one hit, marking a period of self-transformation.
This album, which reached number one in the US and won a Grammy, is a neo-soul piece that transcends the boundaries of hip-hop, depicting complex emotions through the persona of Igor within an experimental sound in which he wrote all the songs himself.
Debuting at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 and winning a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, this album marks a significant moment in Tyler, the Creator's creative process. Produced entirely by himself, the album features a more melody-driven sound, with vocals and synthesizers at the forefront than ever before, boldly fusing hip hop with neo-soul and funk textures. "Earfquake" is one of his biggest hits, symbolizing the album as a whole, while "A Boy Is a Gun*" depicts the emotional turmoil with a sophisticated soundscape. While featuring guest appearances from Solange and Playboi Carti, the album's core story is the fictional character Igor's tale of love and conflict, leaving a lasting impression with its profound emotional expression.
