Don't Tap the Glass
Updated: 1/1/1970, 12:00:00 AM Wikipedia source
Don't Tap the Glass (stylized in all caps) is the ninth studio album by American rapper and producer Tyler, the Creator. It was released through Columbia Records on July 21, 2025. The album includes guest appearances from American singer-songwriters Pharrell Williams (under both his name and his alter ego, Sk8brd), Madison McFerrin, and Yebba. Tyler was the sole producer of all ten tracks. Don't Tap the Glass was supported by two singles: "Ring Ring Ring" and "Sugar on My Tongue", which were serviced to US rhythmic radio on July 30 and August 20, respectively. The album received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Its release date coincides with the eighth anniversary of Tyler's fifth studio album, Flower Boy (2017). Don't Tap the Glass was teased three days prior to release through art installations during Tyler's Chromakopia: The World Tour, along with a website that promoted merchandise that was associated with the album's title. Heavy speculation regarding the album's guest appearances and track listing, fueled by early media reports, was debunked by Tyler in the lead-up to the release. On July 20, Tyler held a listening party in Los Angeles, California, for 300 guests, throughout which a ban on cameras and cell phones was enforced. In 2026, Tyler is set to embark on a Latin American tour, including headline appearances at the Festival Estéreo Picnic and Lollapalooza Chile, Argentina, and Brasil.
