Sound the alarms, the next chapter of Tyler, The Creator‘s career is here. It’s been over three years since his Grammy Award-winning Call Me If You Get Lost was released, and it appears a new Tyler era is upon us.

Tyler took to social media on Wednesday (Oct. 16) to kick off his next chapter with the eerie “St. Chroma” video. The clip finds a person rocking a mask with a group of mesmerized soldiers marching to some whispered rapping through a barren desert.


The clip follows the group as they walk into a container emblazoned with the word “Chromakopia” on its side, before someone hits a detonator to blow up the box and splatter some color onto the screen. It’s unclear if this is the opening track of Tyler’s next era, but plenty of the rapper’s peers think so.

Solange Knowles, Lil Yachty, Gunner Stahl, IDK, Lil Dicky, Wolfacejoeyy, Laila!, Swizz Beatz, Doechii, Wynne, Montell Fish and more excitedly commented under his new clip. Some fans speculated that Chromakopia could even be the title of the next LP.

Since releasing his Goblin debut in 2011, Tyler has released an album every other year through 2021’s Call Me If You Get Lost. However, he broke the streak when 2023 came and went without an album. Although he essentially released a Call Me If You Get Lost deluxe with The Estate Sale in March 2023.

While he notched his first feature film role in an upcoming A24 movie alongside Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler has been quiet for much of 2024 on the music side.

With this teaser now out to the masses, the timing of rolling out his next project could make sense with his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival set to take over Dodger Stadium for the weekend of Nov. 16 and Nov. 17 where he’ll be headlining.

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 went on to win best rap album honors at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
