This Saint Patrick’s Day, Tyler, the Creator fans can rejoice.
The ringleader of the notorious and controversial music collective, Odd Future, will be performing at the Plaza Theater in Orlando on March 17th in what is sure to be a concert that does not lack excitement. Tyler, The Creator is one of the more popular members of the indie rap scene, having garnered huge mainstream success in 2011 with the release of his music video for the song “Yonkers”.
In the song “Yonkers” Tyler raps about his own suicidal and violent tendencies along with proclaiming his hatred for numerous members of the conventional music scene. The music video, known for its bizarre and abstract visuals has garnered over 65,000,000 views and made Tyler, The Creator a well known name in the indie rap scene.
While being initially known for his his deliberate, offensive and antagonistic attitude, his work showed major maturity with the release of his most recent album, “Wolf”. The album showed a large amount of emotionally honestly, delving into the trappings of his new found fame, his struggle over his relationship with his father, and the grief he felt over the recent loss of his grandmother.
