After two years of nothing but crickets on the Tyler, the Creator musical release front, the 30-year-old rapper took to social media this morning to announce the release of his new single, “Lumberjack,” on all streaming platforms.
The two-minute track features a sample from ‘90s hip hop group Gravediggaz while Tyler colorfully raps about the finer things in life in his signature tongue-in-cheek, stream-of-consciousness MO. Check out the shortened visual for the single below.
The release comes shortly after the rapper posted a series of teasers hinting at new music not only on his social media accounts, but also on a Los Angeles highway billboard, which read "Call Me if You Get Lost," and listed a phone number that lead callers to a voice recording between Tyler and his mother layered over a hazy instrunmental. On June 14, Tyler posted another visual teaser to Instagram of him haphazardly canoodling with a woman while posted up in front of a pink luxury car, captioned "10. SWEET," seemingly hinting at a tracklist.
Two years prior, Tyler released his sixth album, Igor, which went on to win Best Rap Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards, turning the eccentric, once-obscure rapper into a household name. It's clear that the rollout for Tyler's upcoming album has officially begun, and we're eagerly awaiting whatever's next from the hip hop provocateur.
