ChromakopiaOpaque White Vinyl edition

Tyler The Creator

When Tyler, The Creator released CHROMAKOPIA it marked a full-scale immersion into his most ambitious sonic world yet. Issued through Columbia Records after a brief, cryptic rollout that began with the mysterious “ST. CHROMA” teaser, the project arrived as both a culmination and a reinvention—an artist taking stock of himself through color, memory, and chaos.

 

Entirely written, produced, and arranged by Tyler Okonma, CHROMAKOPIA draws from every corner of his creative evolution. The album features a wide-ranging cast—Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, Lil Wayne, Schoolboy Q, and Teezo Touchdown among them—but remains unmistakably Tyler’s vision. Across its sprawling tracklist, it bridges the introspective warmth of Flower Boy and Igor with the bravado and structure of Call Me If You Get Lost, while daringly fragmenting that balance into something unpredictable and deeply human.

 

Conceptually, CHROMAKOPIA unfolds like a personal memoir told through sound. Narrated in parts by Tyler’s mother, Bonita Smith, the record traces a life in motion - riddled with doubt, pride, grief, and reconciliation. Musically, it's sprawling and restless. Guitar-driven rock passages collides with orchestral flourishes, gospel choirs bleed into synth-pop breakdowns, and hip-hop beats surface only to be deconstructed moments later. The result is a record that feels as much like a collage as a confession.

 

Where Igor romanticized transformation and Call Me If You Get Lost reveled in self-assurance, CHROMAKOPIA confronts what comes after mastery: uncertainty, nostalgia, and creative restlessness. Not a victory lap, but a reawakening.
