TYLER THE CREATOR: IGOR Vinyl LP

Tyler the Creator's IGOR -- the album that won the Grammy for Best Rap Album and permanently expanded the language of what a rap record could be.

IGOR (2019) is a baroque, emotionally labyrinthine concept album about unrequited love -- soul samples, live instrumentation, and Tyler's voice used as a compositional element as much as a lyrical vehicle. 'EARFQUAKE,' 'A BOY IS A GUN*,' and 'ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?' are exceptional.
