Overview

  • Don’t Tap the Glass, Tyler’s ninth studio album, arrived early Monday with ten tracks clocking in at 28 minutes and 30 seconds and is now streaming globally.
  • He teased the project at a Brooklyn show with Golf Wang merch updates and large-scale installations at Barclays Center before dropping it without officially credited features.
  • Tyler directed and released a vibrant video for “Stop Playing With Me,” which includes cameos from Pusha T, Malice, LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
  • Through an intimate no-phones listening party and social media essays, he positioned the album as a response to public reluctance to dance and encouraged uninhibited movement.
