Tyler, the Creator Launches Merch to Celebrate Cherry Bomb

— April 12, 2025 — Art & Design
It has been almost a decade since Tyler, the Creator launched his fourth studio album dubbed Cherry Bomb and to celebrate, he unveiled a special merchandise collection. The anniversary officially lands on April 13th and the collection is comprised of new vinyl, CD packs, and box sets.

There are notably three new variations of the vinyl -- each one is made with two LPs on a clear vinyl. One of which features the cartoon mask cover art at the case and then dipped in a clear blue. The other two options spotlight the original album cover art on the jacket -- it is done in red and blue respectively. The CD pack also comes with a poster as the three Box Sets make up apparel, artwork, and accessories.
