Tyler the Creator, Encourages Us to Put Our Phones Down

We can all agree that both technology and social media have completely taken over the world. Those are two of the many reasons why excessive phone use has taken the place of both human interaction and proper communication. Tyler, the Creator, knows this feeling all too well. As a result, he has decided to create a collection of dance-oriented tracks meant to encourage more physical movement and a break from phone use. Don’t Tap the Glass also emphasizes the importance of experiencing the music in a live, immersive setting.

Don’t Tap the Glass is Sure to Please

With its energetic and carefree vibe, the album was released on July 21, 2025, following a surprise announcement and a series of social media teasers. With its 10 songs specifically designed for dance and body movement, Don’t Tap the Glass includes collaborations with prolific producers Pharrell Williams and DAISY WORLD. With its uplifting lyrics and sound, this album is sure to delight Tyler’s current fans, as well as recruit new ones. First gaining recognition with his debut mixtape Bastard in 2009, Tyler then released his debut album, Goblin, in 2011. The latter brought him his first taste of mainstream exposure.

Tyler’s Star Continues to Rise

A man of many talents, Tyler has also made a significant impact in fashion through his streetwear brand, Golf Wang, and its sub-label, Golf le Fleur. Today, Tyler, the Creator’s influence extends beyond music to fashion, film, and art, solidifying him as a cultural icon.
