Tyler, the Creator found an intriguing way to share new music with fans. He set up a special phone hotline that allows the caller to hear a 20-second snippet of one of his upcoming tracks.

The California-native previously shared the hotline’s phone number on his website and via billboards in LA alongside a note: “call me if you get lost.” When called, the line would play a pre-recorded exchange between the rapper and his mother.

On Tuesday, Tyler, the Creator shared the same number on Twitter. This time, however, the call would initiate audio with a portion of an unreleased funky-styled song.

In case you don’t have a phone nearby, check out the snippet below. 

According to reports, the recording is most likely taken from Tyler, the Creator’s new album. His most recent studio effort was 2019’s IGOR, which was met with universal acclaim and debuted at No.1 on US Billboard 200 charts.

Since then, he released several non-album singles, including the 2021 track “Tell Me How,” which served as a soundtrack for a new Coke ad. He also made a number of feature appearances, collaborating with Channel Tres, Brent Faiyaz, Lil Yachty, and others.
