Tyler, The Creator’s ‘CHROMAKOPIA’: A Not-So-Black-and-White Journey
|
The anticipation I felt this past Sunday evening was nothing short of a kid’s excitement on Christmas Eve. I had my 6 a.m. alarm set, I was adorned in my favorite Tyler, The Creator merch and thoughts of potential features made it difficult to fall asleep. CHROMAKOPIA has consumed me since the sudden release of “St. Chroma.” I immediately fell in love with the song and concept — the military style visuals were haunting and I obsessed over determining if Frank Ocean was really on the song (I’m convinced he is). That being said, it’s Tyler’s creativity that always dominates his projects,so my excitement was sufficiently peaked.
