Tyler, the Creator wrote, produced, and arranged Igor entirely himself, conceiving the album as a single narrative built around a synth-heavy blend of neo soul, funk, and alternative hip hop. The record famously lists no featured artists in its official credits, so contributions from Kanye West, Solange, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Jerrod Carmichael, and others are deliberately uncredited on the cover, a creative choice Tyler made to present the work as one unified voice. 'Earfquake' became his highest-charting single to that point, and the album won the Grammy for Best Rap Album. It is the fullest expression of Tyler as a self-contained writer, producer, and arranger.
Igor is the sixth studio album by Tyler, the Creator, released on May 17, 2019 through Columbia Records. Produced entirely by Tyler, the genre-blurring record fuses hip-hop, neo soul, R&B, and funk, with guest vocals from Playboi Carti, Kanye West, Solange, and Lil Uzi Vert woven into its mix. Its lead single "Earfquake" reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, alongside standouts "I Think" and "A Boy Is a Gun." The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, Tyler's first chart-topper, and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2020. Telling the story of a turbulent love triangle, Igor cemented Tyler's transformation from shock-rapper to acclaimed auteur.
