Tyler, the Creator’s “Lemonhead” is only a minute long, but the rapper still managed to put out a memorable visual for the Call Me If You Get Lost track on Thursday, starring his alter ego Wolf Haley.
The clip starts off with Tyler in a field, talking to an elderly tubist in uniform and trying to demonstrate how to play the instrument. “Mr. Bobo was a very talented individual, but I don’t think I was doing my best articulating what I wanted,” Tyler says in voiceover. “I know the tuba was too heavy for him, but I needed to get this shit done.”
As the video transitions into the song itself, it cuts to the surreal image of Tyler cruising through the field on a speedboat as he raps, a similar vibe to his recent BET Awards performance. He ends the video in a lot full of pastel cars before riding off on a high wheel bicycle.
Tyler, the Creator released Call Me If You Get Lost last month and performed a livestream concert at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg for the album. Along with Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott, the rapper will headline the 2021 Day N Vegas festival, which will take place November 12th through 14th at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
Los Angeles-based designer and recent-ish hip-hop producer Real Bad Man is taking up after Boldy James' prolific work ethic. He is rolling out the red carpet for his next collaborative project with the Detroit spitter titled Conversational Pieces.
Per a press release, the duo will be releasing their third body of work on May 2 via the producer's namesake record label. This will be a follow-up to 2022's Killing Nothing, as well as their debut back in 2020, Real Bad Boldy. The latter also happened to be Bad Man's first LP. As per usual, the tracklist is going to be tight knit.
There's going to be a total of 13 songs and three features. One of them is Conway the Machine, and the other two are a part of the lead singles to Conversational Pieces. Real Bad Man and Boldy James have decided to recruit Washington D.C. artist dreamcastmoe and Run The Jewels' El-P for "Come Back Around" and "It Factor," respectively.
Overall, the vibe we are getting from both tracks is very much "conversational. From the fairly chill production from Bad Man to James' very matter-of-fact deliveries on both cuts, they are definitely following the blueprint they laid out for themselves.

Quotable Lyrics From "Come Back Around":
Uncle love to smoke and drink, granny on the couch slumped
Needle hanging out her arm, shoot up at least twice a day
Kids damn near starving, cooking noodles in the microwave
Where peoplе slave and don't ever gеt a job promotion
Auntie working two jobs every day but she be closet smoking
Where n****s sick and tired of being tired of hoping
