Tyler The Creator Confirms “Don’t Tap The Glass” Drops at 6AM EST and Urges Fans to Chill

Tyler, The Creator just hit fans with a surprise announcement that has the internet buzzing. His new album, Don’t Tap The Glass, is officially dropping on Monday, July 21, at 6AM EST. The timing caught many off guard, especially since it mirrors the release strategy behind CHROMAKOPIA, which also launched early on a Monday morning last October.

Tyler is currently on tour, but that hasn’t stopped him from working in the studio and keeping fans on their toes. This time, though, he’s asking everyone to tone it down just a little.

When is Don’t Tap The Glass releasing, and what should fans expect?

On Sunday, July 20, Tyler took to Twitter to clarify all the chatter. “DONT TAP THE GLASS MONDAY JULY 21 6am EST,” he wrote, confirming the early release time. He also offered a heads-up to fans eager for a concept-heavy album. “Yall better get them expectations and hopes down this ain’t no concept nothing,” he added. The message was clear—this album will stand apart from the thematic depth of some of his past projects.

What about the rumored features and leaked tracklist?

Tyler also addressed the wave of fake tracklists circulating online, which claimed the album would include features from Kendrick Lamar, Clipse, Earl Sweatshirt, Lil Wayne, and others. He shut those rumors down completely, reminding fans not to believe everything they see on the internet. Still, given his history with surprise features, fans are keeping hope alive just in case.

With comparisons already being made to CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale, many believe Don’t Tap The Glass could serve as a loose companion piece or a B-sides collection. There’s also a noticeable shift in his visuals this time around, drawing influence from old-school hip-hop icons like LL Cool J and Ludacris, which has fans hoping for some high-energy rap performances.
