Após anunciar a chegada de seu novo álbum para a próxima segunda-feira (28), Tyler The Creator liberou "NOID", o primeiro single de "Chromakopia".
A faixa chega em duas versões: a do clipe, com pouco menos de três minutos, e a integral com quase cinco de duração. Qualquer uma delas confirma que o rapper é um dos grandes artistas em atividade no mundo da música pop do século 21.
"Noid", tem pegada roqueira, claustrofóbica e experimental, sem perder a veia pop. Ela também indica que "Chromakopia" tem tudo para se tornar uma das unanimidades de 2024.
Para quem ficou curioso com a origem do sample que forma a base da música, ele vem de uma banda de rock zambiana dos anos 70, o "zambian rock" anda em alta com colecionadores de raridades musicais.

NOID (Tyler Onkoma, Paul Dobson Nyirongo)
Paranoid, paranoid, paranoid (Ayy) Things feel out of order Look a—, look around, I'm not sure, uh
Para-paranoia, you know (Such a—) Feel it in my aura (Woo) Living between cameras and recorders, ah (Woo) Needs, but can't afford ya, you know (Such a—)
Pobwela panyumba panga, uyenela ku nkala ndi ulemu (Paranoid) Chifukwa, ine sinifuna vokamba, kamba Vokamba kamba vileta pa mulomo (Wotangozi, wotangozi)
'Round, 'round, yeah 'Round, 'round Someone's keeping watch I feel them on my shoulder Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' 'round (Such a—)
I can't even buy a home in private Home invasions got my brothers dyin' Notice every car that's drivin' by I think my neighbors want me dead I got a cannon underneath the bed
Triple checkin' if I locked the door I know every creak that's in the floor Motherfucker, I am paranoid (Such a—)
I loop around the block, eyes glued to the rearview Rather double back than regret hearin' "Pew, pew" Never trust a bitch, if you good, they could trap you So just strap it up 'fore they fuck around and strap you, bitch
Pobwela panyumba panga, uyenela ku nkala ndi ulemu Chifukwa, ine sinifuna vokamba, kamba Vokamba kamba vileta pa mulomo (Wotangozi, wotangozi)
'Round, 'round, yeah 'Round, 'round Someone's keeping watch I feel them in my shadow Someone's keeping a watch (Watchin', watchin')
(Such a—)
Someone's keeping watch I can feel it, I can feel it I can feel it, I can feel it
Don't trust these people out here Please, whatever you do Keep to yourself, keep your business to yourself Don't even trust these motherfuckin' accountants 'Cause they will try to get off on you, okay? Please, because I don't wanna have to fuck nobody up I promise to God

Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look, ooh (Oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy) Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look, ooh (Oh-na-na, oh-na-na, ayy)
No cameras out, please, I wanna eat in peace Don't wanna take pictures with you niggas or bitches Nervous system is shook way before nineteen (Yeah) LA'll do that to you, where you from, nigga? Who your, satellite (Satellite) screenshot (Noid) , paparazzi (Noid) , NDA (Noid) Privacy? Ha-ha, yeah right, I got a better shot in the NBA
Ain't no respect for nothin' voice recordin' all discussions Her, him, they, them, or anybody I don't trust 'em at—, at all (All)
Some pray for my fall (Noid) hearin' clicks on the calls (Noid) Niggas actin' for some rough drafts Bitches lookin' for a buff bag Risk that for some jaw, lock You sing along, but you don't know me, nigga Nah, never ever, not at all Y'all niggas crossed the line like fuck the stop sign (Noid) They wonder where I close my eyes at I keep my eyes wide On God, this shit cooked, brodie Look brodie (Noid) , handshakes got me shook, brodie Niggas want info about me— (Read a motherfuckin'—) Read a book on me, uh
Leave me alone, leave me alone (Don't it feel so good?) Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look (Don't it feel so good?) Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look (Ugh) Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder, look (Fuck you want?)
Leave me alone, what you want? Leave me alone, what you want? Leave me alone (What's in my window, my window?) Fuck, damn (What's in my window?) Paranoid
