TYLER THE CREATOR AGE FULL

I was in Vegas the other day and I’m walking through the lobby and somebody screams out “ Call Me If You Get Lost !” I’m used to people screaming out “Yo Dram!” or they’ll say it in Jeezy’s voice or “Gangsta Grillz,” so it’s a new way for them to pay homage.

It’s definitely full circle to what the Pharrell Gangsta Grillz meant to the culture, to a lot of people, Tyler being one of them. The side that’s not familiar with me reminds me of when I did Chris Brown’s first Gangsta Grillz, In My Zone, and his fanbase was like, “What the hell is this person screaming all over the music? Get him outta here.” It doesn’t bother me. I’m a troll in a lot of ways, so I’ll go read the comments and search my name. There’s a piece of it that’s very familiar with me and there’s a piece that isn’t and probably kinda had to either do some research or get put on. What’s the reaction been like to your involvement with Call Me If You Get Lost ? Do you feel like doing this has gotten the older music you worked on to a newer generation of fans?Ībsolutely. Drama talked to Rolling Stone about world-building with Tyler, what the term “mixtape” means today, and helping his second home of Atlanta become the epicenter of hip-hop. Now 43, Drama is focused on running Generation Now, his label that features Jack Harlow and Lil Uzi Vert. “T o come back with this gritty ass rap album and on top of that it’s fucking Gangsta Grillz, was just so left of what anybody thought,” Drama says of the project over Zoom, a few days after the album’s release. It’s not a formal entry into Drama’s legendary Gangsta Grillz mixtape series, but it embodies much of the same exhilarating rawness.

The record is full of muscular rapping, shoutouts to Swiss lakes, and Drama’s bruising baritone boasts. Tyler, the Creator is as much a product of that era as anyone, so it’s fitting that he enlisted the legendary DJ Drama to act as host on his excellent sixth studio album Call Me If You Get Lost. The first phase of the beloved hip-hop internet can often feel as distant as the heyday of CDs. With only a handful of iconic projects available to stream, thousands of hours of music have been lost to the digital wasteland. Tyler has won several accolades for his distinctive contribution as an artist and performer.As streaming platforms continue to dominate the ways we listen to music, projects from rap’s great mixtape era are disappearing or becoming more difficult to find. He recently joined the garment industry by founding his own clothing company called ‘Golf Wang’. He has had the opportunity of working with mega recording brands such as ‘XL Recordings’, ‘Sony Music Entertainment’ and ‘RED Distribution’. He also hosts the annual ‘Camp Flog Gnaw’ carnival at the Exposition Park in Los Angeles the event attracts music lovers from all over the globe.

He has performed in top television shows such as ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’, ‘The Mindy Project’ and ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’. Most of his songs continue to reflect verses of his adverse past. Though he had a distressing childhood, he managed to find solace in composing original music from a young age.

Tyler self-produced his first mixtape ‘Bastard’ and soon followed it up with his debut album ‘Goblin’. He began his career by uploading songs on ‘Tumblr’ that quickly went viral and grabbed mass attention. American rapper, record producer, songwriter and video director, Tyler Gregory Okonma, also known as “Tyler, The Creator” is the co-founder of the flourishing hip-hop collective ‘Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All’.
