Tyler, The Creator - Wolf (2LP)

Released in 2013, Wolf marked a major step forward for Tyler, The Creator, expanding his sound beyond the abrasive production of his early Odd Future work into a more melodic and musically ambitious direction. Built around jazz, soul, funk and alternative hip hop influences, the album combines Tyler's distinctive production with cinematic storytelling and a cast of recurring characters, exploring themes of identity, relationships, loneliness and growing up.

Featuring standout tracks including Answer, IFHY, Domo23 and See You Again, the album includes collaborations with Frank Ocean, Pharrell Williams, Erykah Badu, Stereolab and Domo Genesis. Wolf remains an important chapter in Tyler's artistic evolution, capturing the point where his raw early creativity began developing into the sophisticated, genre-blurring style that would define his later work.
