Tyler, the Creator Releases Yet Another Video Leading Up to his Album

So close…

Tyler’s new album, ‘Call Me If You Get Lost,’ is coming to us on Friday, June 25. A master hype builder, Mr. the Creator just posted another music video to prime us for the drop.

Announced on his Instagram, Tyler put the new video, titled ‘WUSYANAME,’ on YouTube. The video is gorgeously shot, taking place in a beach setting in the heart of a mountainous area. Once the music begins, Tyler pours out a heartfelt verse to the beautiful girl in the video, confessing love but ending the verse on the song’s title, asking for her name. The song is short, but it is likely just for video purposes, with a chance that it’s longer on the actual album. Last week, when he released the lead single, ‘LUMBERJACK,’ the video cut the song down as well.

We also gotta acknowledge how Tyler comes in on this song. With his endless styles, there’s never any predicting as to what a new song will sound like. Here, Tyler serves rap fans some bars delivered with a masterful flow, all wrapped up in a caring vocal performance. With these two singles out, it’s fair to expect a decent amount of solid rap songs on the album. The content seems mostly love based, which is the predominant expectation in Tyler’s recent years.

Between the initial billboard, his funny videos, and lead songs, its clear that this piece will be just as unique as his other work. Beyond the consideration of rapping, Tyler, the Creator may just be the king of Hip-Hop in the last couple years and it looks like the crown might remain on his head.
