Tyler The Creator Levels Up As Fan-Made Video Game Brings His Eras to Life
Tyler The Creator is stepping into the world of video games thanks to a devoted fan. Ali Graham, who previously created a popular game inspired by Kendrick Lamar, introduced his newest project, “Tyler The Game.” This game is a fun 2D platformer that takes players through some of Tyler’s most famous album eras, ranging from the dark vibes of “Yonkers” to the bright, colorful world of “Flower Boy.” It’s a mix of nostalgia and new experiences, allowing fans to interact with Tyler’s artistic journey in a playful way.
Currently, there’s a demo available for computers where players can explore various levels based on Tyler’s music videos and album themes. For example, you can dodge excited fans in a chase inspired by “Noid,” escape a scary scene in “IFHY,” or ride through the sunny landscapes of “Wolf.” Each level celebrates Tyler’s creative style, allowing fans to experience his unique visuals like never before. Graham shared his vision on the game’s official website, saying, “We want to celebrate Tyler’s greatness through a video game.” He aims to turn some of Tyler’s most memorable moments into gameplay, such as jumping through sunflower fields from “Flower Boy,” riding a bike in the woods from “Wolf,” avoiding enthusiastic fans like in “Noid,” and trying to escape fiery dangers from “IFHY.”
Although the game is still a work in progress, its potential is exciting. Graham hopes to raise funds to enhance the project and make it even better. If it reaches its full potential, “Tyler The Game” could become a playground for fans, mixing nostalgia with fun gameplay. While Tyler hasn’t publicly reacted to the game yet, given his appreciation for creativity, it wouldn’t be a shock if he noticed this unique tribute. Regardless of his involvement, “Tyler The Game” shows how deeply his artistry connects with people, extending beyond music and fashion into gaming.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”
In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.
It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.
“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
