Tyler the Creator will drop his new album titled “Don’t Tap the Glass” this Monday (July 21). All week, the rapper hinted that something big would land on Monday, but fans were not sure what it was.
On Friday night, his Golf Wang website made things clear by launching new merchandise tied to the album. Fans could see vinyl, shirts, and hats that promoted the record and proved that its release was near.
During his Brooklyn show, Tyler the Creator called out the album’s name while performing on stage. The show also featured a setup that copied the album cover, with the title shown front and center.
“Don’t Tap the Glass” will be Tyler the Creator ninth studio project, following his last album “Chromakopia.” That album was also a surprise, announced only two weeks before it came out in late October.
“Chromakopia” included guest spots from Doechii, Childish Gambino, GloRilla, and Lil Wayne. It came with a world tour named after the album, joined by special acts Lil Yachty and Paris Texas.

Fans quickly grabbed the new items, eager to show support and prepare for the new music. The fresh merch sent the internet buzzing and made clear that Tyler’s next era was about to begin.
Brooklyn Crowd Gets the Scoop
At his Brooklyn concert, Tyler made sure fans knew the album title. He shouted “Don’t Tap the Glass” while performing live, giving the crowd the first real confirmation.
The event included an installation that showed the album cover design, so fans could snap photos and share the moment. This reveal made the show even more special for fans in the audience.
Chromakopia Set the Stage
Tyler’s last project, “Chromakopia,” came out without a long promo run, too. That record was announced just two weeks before it dropped in October. Big names like Doechii, Childish Gambino, GloRilla, and Lil Wayne joined Tyler on tracks.
The album kicked off the “Chromakopia” world tour, which featured Lil Yachty and Paris Texas. Fans around the world got to see Tyler live, keeping the buzz going long after the album’s release.
First Single Noid Brings Visuals
Along with the tour news, Tyler released the video for “Noid,” the first main single. The clip starred actress Ayo Edibiri, who played an obsessed fan running up to Tyler crying.
The video added even more hype for what was coming next and gave fans a look at the new album’s vibe.
Touring Around the Globe
Right now, Tyler is still busy with his “Chromakopia” tour. He just wrapped up four nights in New York at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Friday. Next, he plans to play more shows across North America. After that, he will travel to Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.
The final shows will happen in the Philippines at Araneta Coliseum on September 20 and 21. The tour keeps fans excited while they wait for the new album to hit.
