CHROMAKOPIA is the eighth studio album by Tyler, the Creator, released on October 28, 2024 via Columbia Records. As with his earlier works, Tyler took full creative control—writing, producing, and arranging the entire record himself. Musically, CHROMAKOPIA blends hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and soul, evoking the warmth and introspection of Flower Boy and Igor. Guest appearances include Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, LaToiya Williams, Lil Wayne, Lola Young, Santigold, ScHoolboy Q, Sexyy Red, and Teezo Touchdown, with Playboi Carti featured on physical editions.

Conceptually, the album unfolds like a personal diary narrated by Tyler’s mother, Bonita Smith, which gives it an intimate, autobiographical tone. Thematically it revolves around memory, identity, fear, fame, and self-discovery. Songs such as “Noid” explore paranoia and the pressures of public life, while “Like Him” reflects on Tyler’s complicated relationship with his absent father. The album’s structure—marked by abrupt transitions, contrasting moods, and stylistic shifts—is often interpreted as deliberate, capturing the creative chaos of reflection and emotional growth. The title CHROMAKOPIA hints at “chroma” (color), serving as a metaphor for individuality, expression, and emotional complexity.
