Tyler, the Creator is back. The Grammy Award-winning rapper announced plans for his eighth studio album on Thursday (Oct. 17). Titled Chromakopia, the set will be released later this month.

Following an initial teaser on Wednesday (Oct. 16), Tyler revealed Chromakopia‘s cover art along with the project’s Oct. 28 release date, which is a Monday rather than the typical Friday.


“All songs written, produced and arranged by Tyler Okonma,” reads the text across the cover in a shade of emerald green. As for the art, it’s a black-and-white photo of Tyler as the soldier rocking a mask who fans got a glimpse of in the “St. Chroma” visual earlier this week.

Chromakopia will serve as the official follow-up to 2021’s Call Me If You Get Lost. Tyler had released an album every other year since his Goblin debut in 2011, but that streak came to and end when no project arrived in 2023.

Fans can access the Chromakopia website, where they can pre-save the album and pre-order merch bundles filled with CDs, hoodies, hats, T-shirts, tote bags and mini commemorative Chromakopia containers.

Fans got their first taste of Tyler launching into his new era on Wednesday when the musician posted a clip of the “St. Chroma” video, which some fans believed to be the opening track of his next album. Solange Knowles, Lil Yachty, Gunner Stahl, IDK, Lil Dicky, Wolfacejoeyy, Laila!, Swizz Beatz, Doechii, Wynne and more hopped into his comment section on IG to show him love.

Call Me If You Get Lost arrived in June 2021 and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 169,000 total album units sold in the first week. The LP won best rap album at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

Next up, Tyler will be performing at his Camp Flog Gnaw festival at Dodger Stadium during the weekend of Nov. 16 and Nov. 17, where attendees will likely get to hear music from his upcoming album. A full lineup for the carnival is yet to be revealed.
