Tyler, The Creator drops two tracks 'Best Interest' and 'Group B' that were left from fifth album 'Igor'
Tyler, The Creator just landed us a two-track surprise this Christmas with the release of two new tracks, 'Best Interest' and 'Group B'.
Both songs did not make it onto 'Igor', the entirely self-produced fifth studio album by the American soul rapper which was released in May 17, 2019. Hip Hop By Numbers declared 'Igor' to be the first self-produced and self-arranged album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard, stating: "He's the first solo rapper in history to have a No. 1 album he produced and arranged by himself, no co-production or co-producer credits at all. 69 rappers have gone No. 1 on the Billboard 200. No-one has done this before".
'Best Interest' was originally intended to be on the album, but the artist released it yesterday, commenting on YouTube, "A song that i never got to fully finish from IGOR sessions. Didnt want it to sit on a hard drive". The artist recorded the video for the track on a whim, shot in scenes of nature with a group of friends, his YouTube comment follows with, "Filmed with no music, with hopes that it would sync up, a success!"
According to his Twitter comment he states "Told the homie to just start filming, i was lip syncing to no music, was surprised when it synced up perfectly". One needs to note this ain't an easy task, considering the majority of the video was shot on a moving airboat! The track features the rapper's vocals ranging between high frequencies (in "Chipmunk" style singing), mid and low vocal tones.
The rapper commented on his Twitter, "I also have some raps. Here you go" and we now have 'Group B', the second release, a gospel-esque sampled rap with a more aggressive Tyler. The YouTube video features lyrics in the description.
The American rapper, singer, songwriter, producer also has a highly successful clothing line named Golf Wang, and we can't wait to see what more this multi-talented artist will show us in future!
