Tyler, The Creator 'Stop Playing With Me' Video Features Cameos From LeBron James And Clipse
Tyler, The Creator hit the ground running with his new album Don't Tap The Glass. The 34-year-old rapper shared a music video for the track 'Stop Playing With Me' with cameo appearances from LeBron James, Maverick Carter, and Clipse. The visual opens with the Hawthorne, Calif. rapper sporting an all-red outfit and flanked by two speakers while dancing in a room with papers scattered all over the floor. 'When I get to snappin' like doo-wop/ Really got the juice like 2Pac/ Shawty got a strong jaw, might chew rock/ Got me comin' out the blue like new cop,' he raps. Later, he raps about catching a plane with Carter and James as the two appear beside him. After a quick transition, they vanish, and in comes Pusha T and Malice while Tyler raps, 'Thank the gods I'm nothing like you.' The Virginia duo stood calmly, almost as if they were uninterested in the former Odd Future member dancing crazily, each time they were seen in the video. Bron and Mav, however, got some light dance moves off and did their unique handshake in their subsequent appearances. Watch the full video above. 'Stop Playing With Me' is the midway point of Tyler's newest album, Don't Tap The Glass. The 10-track LP has no listed features, though 'Big Poe' features vocals from Pharrell and a sample of Busta Rhymes' chorus on 'Pass The Courvoisier.' Daisy World also appears on 'Don't You Worry Baby.' Glass marks the Grammy winner's ninth studio album, and second in under a year following Chromakopia from October 2024. It is also his second consecutive album to come out on a Monday morning. In promoting the LP, Tyler tweeted 'yall better get them expectations and hopes down this aint no concept nothing' on Sunday (July 20). He also wrote that it was 'made for body movement.'

Outside Lands headliner releases surprise album weeks before festival
Outside Lands attendees may be some of the first to hear Tyler, the Creator 's newest album live. The Southern California rapper released his 10-track 'Don't Tap the Glass' on Monday, July 21, just weeks before he is set to headline the San Francisco festival at Golden Gate Park on Aug. 9, the second night of the three-day event. Clocking in at just under 30 minutes, the project marks Tyler, the Creator's ninth studio album. It features Pharrell Williams on opening track 'Big Poe,' and includes samples of Oakland rapper Too Short 's 'Dope Fiend Beat,' Busta Rhymes ' 'Pass the Courvoisier Part II' and Michael Jackson 's 'Off the Wall.' 'This album was not made for sitting still,' the 'Sticky' rapper posted to Instagram on Monday morning. 'Dancing driving running any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it.' Following the album's release, Tyler, the Creator dropped a music video for the track 'Stop Playing With Me,' which featured cameos by Los Angeles Lakers power forward LeBron James, his business associate Maverick Carter and Clipse, the hip-hop duo composed of rapper Pusha T and his brother Malice. Tyler, the Creator — born Tyler Gregory Okonma — began teasing a Monday announcement on social media last week. While many fans were unsure of what the surprise could be, he updated his streetwear brand Golf Wang 's website on Friday, July 18, to include vinyls, T-shirts and other 'Don't Tap the Glass' merchandise. He also mentioned the title of the album onstage during a concert in Brooklyn that night. His headlining slot at the festival, which runs Aug. 8-10, comes in the middle of his 'Chromakopia' tour, which stopped in Oakland on Feb. 24 and San Francisco on March 5. Though he's been performing tracks off that record, fans are hopeful the rapper will debut some of his newer tracks during his upcoming shows. Tyler, the Creator was initially scheduled to perform at Outside Lands last year, but dropped out at the last minute and was replaced by 'Espresso' singer Sabrina Carpenter.

Tyler, The Creator Drops 'DON'T TAP THE GLASS' — A Raw, Unfiltered Follow-Up to 'Chromakopia'
Summary Tyler, the Creatorhas just released his ninth studio album,DON'T TAP THE GLASS. Unveiled as a surprise drop during the Brooklyn stop of hisCHROMAKOPIAtour, the album marks a new chapter in his ever-evolving artistic journey. Speaking on the album, Tyler shared via Instagram: 'This isn't about control or reception. It's just me again. A little louder, a little looser. Felt like letting the paint spill this time.' The 10-track album blends Tyler's signature production quirks — lush chords, gritty drums, and unexpected tempo shifts — with a rawer, more impulsive energy. Where past projects likeCHROMAKOPIA,IGORandCall Me If You Get Lostunfolded with conceptual precision,DON'T TAP THE GLASSthrives in spontaneity. The songs feel less polished and more alive — as if caught mid-thought or mid-emotion. The album opens with 'Big Poe,' a chaotic swirl of brass, static, and Tyler's voice arriving with no buildup — mid-thought, mid-sentence, mid-chaos. The energy is heavy but playful, like something on the edge of boiling over. It doesn't ask you to follow. It just pulls you in. From the start, it's clear this album isn't about polish — it's about release. A shift in tone comes with 'I'll Take Care of You.' Built around rich synth layers and pitch-warped vocals, the track echoes the emotional softness of IGOR but lands in something more fragile. Tyler sings as if he's trying to hold something together while letting it fall apart. The production is full of haze — dreamlike, melancholy, almost protective. It's not a love song, exactly. It's more like a flicker of care in the middle of emotional static. The final track, 'Tell Me What It Is,' doesn't close the album with resolution — it fades out with uncertainty. Tyler's voice is quieter here, almost resigned, as he circles around unanswered questions. It feels like he's standing still for the first time, letting the dust settle after everything else has burned. He ends the album with an eerie, dystopian cut-off — a final bow that feels abrupt, unresolved, and intentional. Across all ten songs,DON'T TAP THE GLASSresists definition. It doesn't aim to be cohesive or complete. This album strays from genre while still feeling entirely like him — less a statement, more a glimpse into the raw mechanics of his creative process. Instead of searching for meaning, it feels like he's letting the music speak for what he doesn't want to explain. DON'T TAP THE GLASSis now streaming on all platforms. Listen to the full album below.
