Tyler wrote an essay describing the inspiration behind his surprise ninth studio album, Don't Tap The Glass, which dropped on Monday morning (July 21).

"Don't Tap the Glass" released early July 21 and features 10 songs produced and performed by Tyler, The Creator. The album's cover art features the artist with an unproportionally-sized head and limbs sporting red pants, a large gold chain, glasses and a red hat that reads, "GLASS."

As promised, Tyler, the Creator released his new album Don’t Tap the Glass on Monday morning, just days after the rapper revealed his surprise follow-up to 2024’s Chromakopia.
