Tyler, The Creator’s new album Don’t Tap The Glass is packed with sharp beats, surprise features, and—as always—clever name-drops. Released July 21 with zero pre-release hype, the 10-track project is a lean, high-energy experience that blends funk, dance, and off-kilter rap into a nonstop 28-minute ride. But beyond the production, Tyler’s bars once again show his love for cultural references, weaving in nods to icons across music, sports, film, and even gaming.
