Scum Fuck Flower Boy by Tyler, the Creator
"Flower Boy" is the fourth studio album, and fifth project, by American rapper Tyler, The Creator. It was released on July 21, 2017 by Columbia Records Produced entirely by Tyler, The Creator, it features guest vocals from a range of artists, including Frank Ocean, ASAP Rocky, Anna of the North, Lil Wayne, Kali Uchis, Steve Lacy, Estelle, Jaden Smith and Rex Orange County. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 78, based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Like <i>Goblin</i> and <i>Wolf</i> before it, the third studio album from rap’s prince of misanthropy feels like a deep dive into a sometimes-unstable mind: dreamy, dark, wildly creative and menacingly personal. Musically, Tyler continues to explore extremes, alternating between thrash (“DEATHCAMP”), junkyard funk (“PILOT”) and low-key soul-jazz like “FIND YOUR WINGS”, making for an experience with an intensity matched by its range. Featuring Pharrell (whose productions with N.E.R.D helped draw Tyler’s musical blueprint), Kanye West, Lil Wayne and ScHoolboy Q, among others.
