Tyler, The Creator has unveiled a bass-heavy new track called "Okra" and shared the hallucinogenic visuals.
"Okra" follows latest LP Flower Boy, and it arrived earlier today with little fanfare. On his YouTube page Tyler calls it a "throwaway song" - it's a testament to his usual vertigo-inducing standards that he considers something that bangs this hard "throwaway".
