About Okra

"Okra" (stylized as "OKRA") is a song by American hip hop artist Tyler, the Creator, released as a digital single on March 29, 2018. It was written and produced by Tyler, the Creator. Described by Tyler as a "throwaway song", the single garnered media attention for its abrupt release and a lyrical reference to American actor Timothée Chalamet. "Okra" has been described as a rap song with bass, drums, snare, piano, and strings in its instrumentation, with its production complementing Tyler's vocal performance, which was shifted up one semitone. In the lyrics, Tyler makes references to several pop culture figures in addition to Chalamet, and also alludes to the separation of hip hop collective Odd Future, which Tyler co-founded. The song was praised for Tyler's production, lyricism, and rapping. The song debuted at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 6.2 million streams, marking Tyler's third appearance on the chart and his second as a solo artist. The song also debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at number 70. A music video, directed by Tyler under the pseudonym Wolf Haley, was released simultaneously with the single. more »
