Launching the rollout for his upcoming sixth studio album CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, Tyler The Creator released a brand new single, “LUMBERJACK”. Compared to the more blissful and soul-centered tone of his past two records, this track takes a complete 180 in every sense of the word. The instrumental is raw, grimey, and Tyler’s monotone delivery matches the intensity of the beat perfectly. In his two verses, Tyler spits a slew of jagged bars that range from flexes like selling out Madison Square Garden on his IGOR tour to saying hilarious one-liners about things as abstract as Drake’s love for Millie Bobby Brown. Between all this and the added intensity from vocalists like DJ Drama and Odd Future member Jasper, this is a great entry point into Tyler’s next chapter.
