Tyler, the Creator is teasing a new song ahead of his upcoming album.
On Saturday (Oct. 26), less than 48 hours before the arrival of his new album, Chromakopia, the 33-year-old rapper shared a music video for the song “Thought I Was Dead.”
The nearly two-minute black-and-white video, directed by Tyler, finds the Igor musician dressed in military attire as he dances and prances on the wing of an old war plane in the middle of an airfield.

Chromakopia will be released on Monday (Oct. 28) through Columbia Records. The set comes three years after his last album, Call Me If You Get Lost, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned a best rap album Grammy award.
Tyler released a single titled “Noid” on music streaming services ahead of Chromakopia. The accompanying music video features Ayo Edebiri, the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress from The Bear.
The rapper is scheduled to host a Chromakopia listening party at Los Angeles’ Inuit Dome on Sunday (Oct. 27). “Los Angeles I’m playing my album in full for you at the Inuit Dome. I will not be performing, I will be standing in the middle of the venue lip syncing to the new sounds. This event costs $5,” he wrote earlier in the week on X (formerly Twitter).
And after previewing Chromakopia in L.A., Tyler plans on taking the album around the globe with the Chromakopia: The World Tour. Along with special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas, the trek will launch Feb. 4 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., and wrap July 27 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
He also has dates set in Europe, Australia and New Zealand for next year.
