New Music: “Treehome95,” Tyler, The Creator feat. Erykah Badu & Coco O. (2013)

A couple weeks ago, all of Tyler’s new album “Wolf” was available to stream on the Odd Future Soundcloud page. While I was digging most of the album, this song with Ms. Badu stood out over the rest.

Even if you’re not really an Odd Future fan, you should check this one out. I mean, who doesn’t like Erykah?!

So many great songs on this! I just tried to type them all out but ended up naming almost every song. Silly me. But in all honesty, if you haven’t listened to this whole album yet, do so immediately.
