LeBron James is enjoying a relaxed summer, and his latest appearance alongside his lifelong friend Maverick Carter in Tyler, the Creator’s new music video has caught attention. This marks a fresh side of LeBron that fans haven’t seen before.
Tyler, the Creator has released a new video to accompany his newly launched album. The self-directed visual for the track “Stop Playing With Me,” which is the fifth song on the album, features Tyler dancing in a room flanked by two oversized speakers. As he performs, the carpeted floor starts to move as though it’s on a treadmill. The video also includes guest appearances from Pusha T and Malice of Clipse.
During a performance at the Barclays Center, Tyler surprised his audience by unveiling his latest studio album, Don’t Tap the Glass. He later shared the announcement on his Instagram. Following this, NBA legend LeBron James reposted the news on his own Instagram Story, and he also endorsed the new album last week.
This album marks Tyler’s first release since Chromakopia, which dropped last October. The new album was teased and released within just four days, making it his shortest rollout to date. The LP, which runs for just under 30 minutes, includes a sample of Busta Rhymes’ “Pass the Courvoisier Part II,” among other tracks.
Promotion for the album involved guerrilla marketing in the streets of Brooklyn, with posters appearing around the city leading up to the announcement at the Barclays Center. Including the help from influential people and athletes like Lebron James. He posted the same Instagram story as part of the release communication campaign.
Tyler has been on tour since February, with future shows planned in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines.
