Tyler, the Creator has announced the reason why he is going on this extensive spring and summer tour across the United States and Europe. The "Yonkers" rapper has unveiled the title and pre-order link to his sophomore album release Cherry Bomb, which will be released in no time -- Monday, April 13. In addition to the new album release coming in just four days, he has also shared the first two tracks you can purchase on iTunes, "DEATHCAMP" and "F**KING YOUNG / PERFECT," which features Charlie Wilson, Toro Y Moi and Chad Alexander of Black Lips on it. Both are available as free downloads for those who pre-order the album now. You can stream both tracks below.
According to a picture obtained by Pigeons and Planes, Track 11 features Kanye West and Lil Wayne, who have been everywhere this year. It still is not confirmed, but this would be a coup for Tyler.
Cherry Bomb is the follow-up to Tyler, the Creator's critically acclaimed 2013 album Wolf. Tyler follows up his fellow Odd Future member Earl Sweatshirt in releasing a somewhat surprising album this spring after Sweatshirt did a similar thing last month. He apparently wanted to drop the album without notice, but Columbia Records messed up the rollout, according to Sweatshirt, and announced it a week early.
The album has 13 songs at the moment, but only the two aforementioned songs have names.
As previously mentioned, Tyler will be heading out on tour this spring and summer. He already kicked things off in Tempe, Arizona, April 6, but will continue on to Coachella before picking things back up in New Orleans and heading out on a breakneck pace of nearly a show a night around the United States and Europe over the next two months.
