Hip-Hop was in the house at the 2026 Grammy Awards as the Clipse, Tyler, The Creator and Lauryn Hill all delivered show-stopping performances on Music’s Biggest Night.
Tyler, who won Best Album Cover and was nominated for a further five awards, brought his two most recent albums, Chromakopia and Don’t Tap the Glass, to life inside Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena with a typically theatrical medley that proved why he’s one of rap’s greatest showmen.
The Hawthorne, California native kicked things off with a high-energy rendition of “Thought I Was Dead” while rocking his military-style Chromakopia outfit and mask.
As his set segued into a lush interlude version of “Like Him,” legendary actress Regina King joined Tyler on stage to play the role of his mom and give the multi-hyphenate rapper a motivational speech — just as the real-life version does throughout Chromakopia.
