Odd Future and A$AP Mob unite. Tyler, the Creator returns with his brand new single “Who Dat Boy” featuring A$AP Rocky.
Directed by Wolf Haley, the video is a bizarre and gory ride. Playing the role of a sinister doctor, Flacko gives Tyler a new face after it gets blown off.
“Who dat boy?” asks Tyler, with another man’s face stitched on top of his own. “Who dem is? Who dem boys? Ni**a, who dem is?”
Rocking his doctor’s uniform, Rocky responds: “Why you ni**as feel like that? / Mad ’cause a ni**a neck chill like that?”
The video ends with a ’90s R&B parody, in which Tyler plays four versions of himself, including one that’s singing about his potential lover on a tennis court. “How you doin’?” he asks. “My name is Lonely. Nice to meet you. Here’s my number. You can reach me. 911! Call me sometime.”
Tyler and Rocky toured together in 2015 and they’ve collaborated on a series of tracks, including “RAF,” “Freestyle 4,” and “Telephone Calls.”
If this is a sign of a new Tyler album, it would be fitting. The Odd Future rapper has dropped a new LP every two years since his 2011 debut Goblin.
