Tyler, The Creator has unveiled a massive hour-long interview diving deep into the inner workings of latest record Flower Boy.
Flower Boy: A Conversation sees Tyler speaking with comedian/actor Jerrod Carmichael about the influences, ideas, and inspirations behind his latest LP. As well as dissecting the emotional heft in Tyler's 2017 collection (one of the best releases last year), the "Who Dat Boy?" star explains the influence of krautrock (including the legendary Can) and pop music (especially the likes of Max Martin). It's an interesting glimpse into the world of Tyler and well worth your time.
