Tyler, the Creator's 2015 wild-card album with Kanye, Lil Wayne and Pharrell, on translucent blue vinyl.
A translucent blue vinyl pressing of Tyler's most untamed record. Cherry Bomb debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 5 in Canada. Guests include Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, Charlie Wilson and Kali Uchis.
Long before Flower Boy and Igor turned Tyler, the Creator into a critics' darling, he made the record that scrambled everybody's expectations on purpose. Cherry Bomb came out in April 2015 on his own Odd Future label, and it veers from blown-out, distorted punk-rap bangers to lush, jazzy soul arrangements, sometimes inside the same song. It was loud, it was strange, and Tyler later called it "the music I've always wanted to make."
The guest list is a flex in itself: Kanye West and Lil Wayne trade verses on "Smuckers," Pharrell drops into "Keep Da O's," Charlie Wilson lends his velvet voice to "F***ing Young / Perfect," and a young Kali Uchis floats through several tracks including "Find Your Wings." The LP debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 51,000 copies sold in its first week, and went to No. 5 here in Canada. In hindsight you can hear Tyler sketching out the colours and chords he'd perfect on later albums, which makes this essential for anyone who came in through Igor or Call Me If You Get Lost. On translucent blue, it looks every bit as vivid as it sounds.
On Odd Future / Columbia, a reissue of the 2015 album.
