After an HBCU marching band performed their own version of Tyler, The Creator and Sexyy Red’s collaboration, “Sticky,” the two were extremely impressed.
The CHROMAKOPIA cut, which also features GloRilla and Lil Wayne, was played live by Jackson’s Sonic Boom of the South marching band during the Jackson State Tigers’ game versus the Alabama State Hornets over the weekend.
Tyler, who produced the song with this exact arrangement in mind, shared his excitement after seeing the video on social media.
“THIS IS WHY I MADE STICKY!!!!!! THIS IS WHY I ARRANGED IT THAT WAY. THIS BEAUTIFUL MY HEART IS FILLED,” he wrote.
Sexyy also reacted, writing, “This so raw!!
For the third week in a row, Tyler, The Creator’s latest album has topped the Billboard 200, solidifying its place as one of hip-hop’s most commercially successful albums of 2024.
According to Billboard, the project, which debuted at the top of the chart earlier this month, has regained its top spot after selling 104,000 equivalent album units in the past week.
In just three weeks, this raises the album’s total sales to over 560,000, qualifying it for RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) Gold certification.
Despite having a shorter tracking week because it was released on a Monday rather than the customary Friday, CHROMAKOPIA started with an outstanding 299,500 units in its first week and moved 160,000 in its second.
Additionally, the album surpasses both 2019’s IGOR and 2021’s Call Me If You Get Lost, marking Tyler’s longest spell at the top of the Billboard 200.
With “St. Chroma” and “Noid” becoming his first top 10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at number seven and number ten, respectively, CHROMAKOPIA has also propelled the founder of Odd Future to new heights on the Billboard Hot 100.
Since then, Tyler’s previously mentioned track “Sticky,” which peaked at number 10 on the chart last week, has helped him earn a third spot in the top 10.
Childish Gambino, ScHoolboy Q, Doechii, Teezo Touchdown, and Daniel Caesar are among the other guests on the popular album. Additionally, Playboi Carti makes an appearance on a bonus track that is only available on vinyl.
