Critically acclaimed hip-hop artist Tyler, The Creator brought his Call Me If You Get Lost Tour to the University of South Florida on Saturday night.
The Grammy-winning rapper, alongside opening acts Kali Uchis, Vince Staples and Teezo Touchdown, put on an engaging show for a nearly sold-out crowd at the Yuengling Center on the Tampa campus.
Tyler incorporated a variety of props and special effects — including a 1939 Rolls Royce Wraith that elevated from underneath the stage, a vintage baby blue mansion with cascading stairs, a wooden runabout boat used to wade between the crowds, an aesthetic hay field with strobe lights, a waterfall light show and a dozen explosive fireballs — resulting in an ultimate performance that had fans singing along for over an hour.
He performed a mixture of songs — including “EARFQUAKE,” “Who Dat Boy” and “WUSYANAME” — from his vast discography that stretches over a decade, appealing to both newcomers and die-hard fans.
In 2019, Tyler, The Creator won a Grammy for his No. 1 charting album “IGOR” and was recognized as Wall Street Journal’s Innovator of the Year and GQ’s Man of the Year. His most recent project, “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST,” also debuted No. 1 on Billboard 200 and landed him a headline spot at Lollapalooza 2021.
Tyler performed at USF’s Yuengling Center the last two times he has gone on tour.
