It’s been two years since Tyler, the Creator scored a Grammy nomination for his album Flower Boy, and he’s already ready for its follow-up.

The American rapper recently teased his upcoming LP Igor, and you won’t have to wait long to get a copy.

According to previous reports, Tyler’s fifth studio album was supposed to hit the shelves by the end of June. His fans were pleasantly surprised when the rapper revealed he’ll be dropping this record sooner than expected – on May 17th!

At this point in time we know nothing about this album, apart from its title and release date, but Tyler, the Creator previously stated he’s thinking of making a record that’s more radio-friendly than his previous efforts.

“Although it’s not the most important thing, there’s still a percentage of me that wants to listen to the radio one day and say, ‘Oh, that’s my song!’ A lot of my favorite artists I heard for the first time because of the radio,” explained the rapper in an interview with GQ.
