Chromakopia is the upcoming seventh studio album by American rapper Tyler, the Creator.[1] The album is set to release on October 28, 2024.[2][3]
Background
On October 16, 2024, Tyler released a teaser on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter titled St. Chroma, which is expected to be the first song of the record. At the end of the video, it revealed the name of the album, Chromakopia. A day later, on October 17, Tyler revealed the cover art for the album, as well as its expected release date.[2]
The album is likely based on the character Chroma the Great from The Phantom Tollbooth, a conductor whose orchestra creates the colors of the world. The teaser video is at first black and white as he is directing people into a shipping container. He then blows it up, adding color to the video.
Teaser
The teaser is speculated to be the music video for St. Chroma, although this is not confirmed. The video has a sepia filter for the majority of the video. It depicts a masked Tyler leading a line of 8 men, where he steps out of the line and points the men to go inside a green shipping container With the ChromakOpia Logo on the Front. When all the men are inside, Tyler presses a button and detonates the container, and the sepia filter disappears. [4]
