Tyler, the Creator Drops Two 'IGOR' Leftovers, "BEST INTEREST" and "GROUP B"

Tyler also shared the accompanying impromptu visuals for "BEST INTEREST."

Tyler, the Creator's had a momentous 2019. As a surprise gift to his fans, he uploaded two previously-unreleased tracks from the IGOR sessions Monday afternoon. The tracks, "BEST INTEREST" and "GROUP B," are less than two minutes each.

Tyler explained the releases on Twitter. The YouTube caption for "BEST INTEREST" reads:

"a song that i never got to fully finish from IGOR sessions. didnt want it to sit on a hard drive. filmed with no music, with hopes that it would sync up, a success!"

The "BEST INTEREST" video features Tyler paddling through an unnamed swamp. He explained the impromptu video shoot on Twitter. Given IGOR's romantic themes, the track doesn't sound far out of place. "GROUP B" is a more conventional rap track. Tyler effortlessly leans into the pocket of a looped sample, referencing everything from Murray's Pomade to climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

Tyler posted the full lyrics to both tracks in their YouTube descriptions. Find both tracks on Tyler's official YouTube channel.

IGOR was recently nominated for the 62nd Annual Grammy's Best Rap Album. The nomination is his second solo nomination. Flower Boy also earned a Best Rap Album nomination in 2016. His production for Frank Ocean's Channel Orange also scored him a Best Album nomination. A victory for IGOR in February, however, would be his first career win.
