Chromakopia (stylized in all caps) is the eighth studio album by the American rapper Tyler, the Creator. It was released through Columbia Records on October 28, 2024, serving as the follow-up to Call Me If You Get Lost (2021). Chromakopia was written, produced, and arranged by Tyler himself. The album features guest appearances from Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, LaToiya Williams, Lil Wayne, Lola Young, Santigold, Schoolboy Q, Sexyy Red, and Teezo Touchdown, with physical releases of the album additionally featuring Playboi Carti.
The album blends different genres like hip-hop, jazz, and soul, evocative of Tyler's previous releases Flower Boy (2017) and Igor (2019). Conceptually, Chromakopia is narrated by Tyler's mother, Bonita Smith, as a diary that pieces together Tyler's perspective on past timeline experiences separated by tracks. The album received widespread acclaim from critics, who praised the lyricism, cohesiveness, and production, and even noted its messy and confusing nature as a positive.
Chromakopia was supported by the singles "Noid", "Sticky", and "Like Him", as well as the promotional singles "St. Chroma" and "Thought I Was Dead". The album was a commercial success, debuting at number one in nine countries. In the United States, the album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, earning Tyler his third US number-one album. Several other songs from the album also charted on the Billboard Hot 100, such as "Noid" and "St. Chroma". At the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, the album received nominations for Album of the Year, Best Rap Album and Best Album Cover, in addition to "Darling, I" receiving a nomination for Best Rap Performance and "Sticky" for Best Rap Song. In support of the album, Tyler embarked on Chromakopia: The World Tour in 2025.
