Tyler, the Creator makes an explosive comeback with his first single since his 2013 album, \u201cWolf\u201d.<\/p>\n

The first half of 2015 has seen its share of surprise album releases and comebacks, and hip-hop artist, Tyler, the Creator, adds his name to the list with his latest single, \u201cToo F****** Young\/Perfect.\u201d The MC has also announced the release date for his newest album, \u201cCherry Bomb\u201d, for April 13.<\/p>\n

The single shows a softer side to the Creator that does not usually get much time on his albums. The song tells the story of the rapper falling for a younger woman, and having to reject her because of the age difference. The track is separated into two halves, the first being a mix between the R&B and Hip-Hop, and the second being a duet between the Creator and singer Kali Uchis.<\/p>\n

The single is delivered in such a way that contrasts drastically from the hard and gritty style the rapper normally delivers his message. The song has a dreamy flavor to it with the Creator singing with the talents of Charlie Wilson, Chaz Bundwick, and Cole Alexander lending their aid for the R&B portion of the first half of the track.<\/p>\n

Tyler wastes little time leading in with a brief R&B intro before he reveals that something is awry with his lady friend the alarming line, \u201cThere go the police man knocking at my door. Do I leave out the back and grab my wallet and coat. Or do I answer real confused like \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d that offsets the school-age dream highlighted when he hits on facetiming to kill boredom.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first half of the track bleeds into a moody R&B duet with Uchis that contrasts the first half with young lady\u2019s point of view. She insists that \u201cthere could be something for you and me. What\u2019s your philosophy? You\u2019re scared, scared.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles, Calif., native notes his own \u201cconfusion\u201d mentioned in the intro surrounding the events in lines that both acknowledge the dilemma he found himself in although he insist that nothing illegal is taking place. He emphasized the \u201cten year sentence\u201d for the \u201csix year difference\u201d in their age range before falling into a heavy rap tangent where he pushes his under aged love away.<\/p>\n

During the closing verse to the first half of the track, the Creator snaps about the consequences of the \u201crelationship\u201d as he tries to get his point across to a reluctant and star-crossed young girl. He compares her meaning of \u201changing\u201d to that of hanging involving a \u201ctree and a belt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Creator\u2019s verse plays counter to Uchis\u2019, reemphasizing the message from the earlier half of the track. However, as the story closes, the MC\u2019s position seems to have wavered as he closes with \u201cCause you\u2019re to f*****g young. And I know you\u2019re the one for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lead single from the upcoming \u201cCherry Bomb\u201d offers a relatable story, not necessarily in the age difference the story revolves around, but in how the lovers are reluctant to let go due to governing circumstances.<\/p>\n

Along with \u201cToo F******* Young\/Perfect,\u201d the Creator has also released snippets of another track off his latest album, \u201cDeathcamp.\u201d In a recent interview with Hot New Hip-Hop, the artist also announced that Cherry Bomb will have features from rappers Kanye West, Schoolboy Q, Lil Wayne, and Pharrell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
