In a vibrant new release, Tyler, the Creator has unveiled the music video for his latest track, “That Guy,” featuring him rapping over the instrumental of Kendrick Lamar’s hit “Hey Now.” The captivating video, showcasing Tyler’s creative vision, includes appearances from notable Odd Future members Jasper Dolphin, Travis “Taco” Bennett, and Lionel “L-Boy” Boyce.
While Tyler typically refrains from rapping over mainstream beats, “That Guy” draws comparisons to his 2016 freestyle “What the Fuck Right Now,” in which he lent his lyrical prowess to Kanye West’s “Freestyle 4.” This demonstrates Tyler’s unique ability to blend his style with trending sounds.
