On May 17th 2019 California rapper Tyler The Creator released his fifth studio album titled IGOR. Tyler who was once known by his fans (and UK authorities) as a violent and vulgar rapper has taken a much softer approach in recent times regarding his music.

IGOR is a cross between his softer jazzy tones that can be heard in Flower Boy and the heavy bass that can be heard in Cherry Bomb (one of his earlier works). The album, which was entirely produced by Tyler himself, reached the top spot in the Billboard 200 album chart, above DJ Khaled’s Father of Asahd (Khaled was not very happy with this result).

"We wanted to make a comment on gun violence and the type of gun violence that needs preventative attention and what its origins are, while also empowering the survivors of tragedy through storytelling in the clothes,": is what co-founder Brick Owens told Today in regards to the major backlash Bstroy has received.

CASE STUDY 01, Daniel Caesar’s sophomore album was released on the 28th of June 2019. The R&B album features artists such as Brandy, Pharrell Williams, Sean Leon and John Mayer.
