Tyler, The Creator (Tyler Gregory Okonma) is an American rapper, producer, and designer born in Los Angeles, California in 1991. He first gained attention as the leader of the Odd Future collective around 2010. Over the following decade he evolved from a deliberately provocative young artist into a widely celebrated auteur, producing his own music and directing his own visuals, and building successful fashion and creative enterprises alongside his career.
Tyler's music spans hip hop, alternative rap, neo-soul, funk, and pop, shifting from the abrasive horrorcore of his early work to the lush, melodic, emotionally complex productions of his mature albums. His self-production, conceptual ambition, and distinctive aesthetic have made him one of the most influential figures in contemporary hip hop and youth culture.
Tyler's albums are issued in numerous vinyl variants and special editions, often with alternate covers, and are heavily collected. Igor and Call Me If You Get Lost in particular appear in multiple sought-after pressings.
