"Some of those songs I really love, and knew they would never see the light of day, so I’ve decided to put a few of them out."
Tyler, the Creator is back with another surprise for fans - this time, it's a new track called Dogtooth and the news that he's set to release a deluxe edition of his 2021 album Call Me If You Get Lost.
The new track is part of the upcoming deluxe edition, which will feature a collection of songs that were recorded for the record but failed to make the cut.
"Call Me If You Get Lost was the first album I made with a lot of songs that didnt make the final cut," Tyler explained on Twitter.
"Some of those songs I really love, and knew they would never see the light of day, so I’ve decided to put a few of them out."
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.

A departure from the upbeat and energetic sound of the album's first single, Lumberjack, Dogtooth features a mellow, almost dreamlike beat, over which Tyler delivers lyrics boasting his wealth and examining those who attach themselves to him for clout.
The song's accompanying video, directed by Wolf Haley (one of the many alter egos of Tyler) showcases the hip-hop icon in a variety of settings, from a serene countryside to a crowded city street alongside a squad of dogs.
The visuals perfectly capture the contemplative mood of the track, with Tyler seemingly lost in thought as he reflects on his life and experiences.
Call Me If You Get Lost has already received much critical acclaim, with many critics hailing it as Tyler's most mature and nuanced work yet, which was vindicated by the album nabbing the Grammy award for 2022 Best Rap Album.
The deluxe edition promises even more of Tyler's trademark creativity and unpredictability, with features from the likes of YG, Vince Staples, and A$AP Rocky.
Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale is set for release on March 31.
