Tyler, The Creator is continuing his Chromakopiarollout by sharing yet another new song and video — this time, for “Thought I Was Dead.”
The video, released on Saturday (October 26), finds Tyler in military-style garb and sporting the dual-pointed hairdo that has been featured in other album-related materials, including the cover.

He marches on top of a combat aircraft while rapping lines like: “Anti-what? Hm, yeah right/ N-ggas running they mouth, keep it airtight/ I’mma crash shit out ’til my hair white/ I got too much drive, I’m a terabyte.”
Check the clip out below. It was directed by Tyler and shot by Luis “Panch” Perez.
Tyler will be taking Chromakopia out on tour early next year.
Earlier this week, he announced Chromakopia: The World Tour, which is set to include special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas throughout the run.

The Odd Future founder took to Instagram on Wednesday (October 23) to make the announcement. The accompanying clip features a band of soldiers marching towards a plane from of the “CHROMAKOPIA” shipping container featured in the “St. Chroma” teaser. Tyler checks papers from the duo in Paris Texas and Yachty, before signaling for the plane to depart. He then clicks a detonator a number of times before something off-screen explodes.
The tour is set to kick off on February 4 in St. Paul, MN. Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 1.
At around the same time he announced the tour, Tyler continued to build buzz for Chromakopia by teasing yet more music from the eagerly anticipated project.
In a video, the “911/Mr. Lonely” rapper treated fans to snippets of several new songs from the album ahead of its release next week.

While their titles have been kept secret, the three tracks hint at another sonically diverse effort from Tyler, as they range from the sweet and soulful to the hard-hitting and heavily distorted.
The 38-second sampler, which was accompanied by footage of Tyler in his now-familiar mask and military uniform, was to promote vinyl copies of Chromakopia which are available to pre-order on his website.
