WHAT TYLER, THE CREATOR IS REALLY LIKE IN THE STUDIO: A DEEP DIVE

Tyler, The Creator’s creative process is explored in the latest episode of HipHopDX’s “Deep Dive” YouTube series — watch it below.

Delving into his eclectic influences, artistic evolution and pure passion for music, the 27-minute video sheds light on what the Grammy-winning multi-hyphenate is really like in the studio, straight from the mouths of collaborators like Pharrell, Lil Wayne and Kali Uchis.

A true musician at heart, Tyler’s creative process often starts with the beat — more specifically, chords. As he told Zane Lowe during a 2019 interview: “Chords, chords, chords. That’s the shit that I fucking care about more than anything. I listen to music all day.”
