We can’t stop listening to Tyler, the Creator’s hot new one-take track, ‘435’
Tyler, the Creator is keen on surprises. He’s dropped off a steady stream of one-offs since his deeply personal Flower Boy LP last year, and now, “because why not,” he’s followed a string of tweets with another new one-off track and in-studio video.

“435” samples Saint Etienne’s “4:35 In The Morning” and was recorded while Tyler was on tour in Philadelphia. Albeit brief, clocking in under two minutes, it’s another indication of just how versatile the former Odd Future rapper really is. He’s since claimed that’s it not “an indication of how future things will sound.”
Recently, in a cover story with Complex ahead of his new album, A$AP Rocky claimed that Tyler has already been working on the follow-up to Flower Boy, explaining, “Tyler’s new shit is crazy. I’m not even lying, honestly, sonically he challenged himself in a different way,” he says. “It’s not even like Flower Boy. His next album is a new wave.”
