The Odd Future founder is as unapologetic as ever on the soulful "Sorry Not Sorry."

Tyler, The Creator remains unapologetic as ever on his latest offering. The rapper announced Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale with the release of “Dogtooth.” Now, the Odd Future star is back with a second single from the project titled, “Sorry Not Sorry.” Once again, the California artist delivers a set of visuals that capture the song's essence, as well as his evolution since Bastard. Tyler The Creator puts together this luscious combination of warm guitar progressions and soulful background vocals with an orchestral touch. The production serves as an excellent soundscape for his confessional of sorts. He addresses the changes in his personal and professional life.

Throughout the record, Tyler details how he’s come to terms with how relationships have shifted since his fame. While he continues to evolve, he also addresses fans who jumped off the bandwagon since his commercial success post-Wolf. “Sorry to the fans who say I changed,” Tyler The Creator gently raps before contorting his vocals with a menacing growl. He continues, “‘Cause I did/ You don’t know me on a personal level to pinpoint what it is.” His range is the cornerstone of the duality he explores as if his conscious and subconscious are tearing him apart.

Tyler, The Creator Releasing B-Sides On Friday

The rapper hasn’t shared the tracklist for Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale yet. However, we’re hoping that a few unreleased collaborations might appear in the album. Tyler The Creator joined forces with the likes of NBA Youngboy, Lil Uzi Vert 42 Dugg, and Teezo Touchdown. Additionally, Tyler linked up with Lil Wayne, Domo Genesis, Brent Faiyaz, Daisy World, and more.

Tyler The Creator previously explained that Call Me If You Get Lost became the first album he ever recorded that included an abundance of unreleased music. “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST WAS THE FIRST ALBUM I MADE WITH ALOT OF SONGS THAT DIDNT MAKE THE FINAL CUT. SOME OF THOSE SONGS I REALLY LOVE, AND KNEW THEY WOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, SO IVE DECIDED TO PUT A FEW OF THEM OUT,” Tyler The Creator said on Twitter. Check out the video for “Sorry Not Sorry” above. 

Quotable Lyrics
Let me see you make a decision I made
And claim that I don't know about minimum wage or Section 8, water in the ketchup bottle to stretch when n***as ate
Gettin' pressed by n***as hoppin' gates
Thinkin' it's normal 'cause you ain't supposed to make it past 18 or escape the Figure 8 cycle
