In a 2023 interview with Nardwuar,Tyler,the Creator discussed his preference for releasing music earlier in the week. He suggested that Tuesdays might be a more effective day for music releases, arguing that Friday releases can led to more “passive listening” due to weekend activities like parties or gym sessions, where listeners may not be fully engaged with the music.
Beyond his music career, Tyler, the Creator recently completed filming for Josh Safdie’s upcoming film, Marty Supreme. The movie, slated for release on Christmas Day from A24, stars Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, and will serve as Tyler’s feature film acting debut.
