I don’t really associate Tyler, The Creator with crack; he’s more like a sugar-high kind of guy.

I know exactly what you’re thinking: Why are Maxo Kream and Tyler, The Creator teaming up on a track? Before you dismiss the idea, remember that Tyler has a history of collaborating with artists who don’t necessarily match his sound. Think of his work with The Game, NBA YoungBoy, and Pusha-T. The good news is, on “Cracc Era,” Tyler shines by staying unapologetically true to himself. Oh, and Maxo did his thing, also.

“Cracc Era” is driven by a typical quirky Tyler, The Creator-like beat that sounds gassier than me after I eat three chalupas from Taco Bell. Over this production, Tyler, The Creator and Maxo Kream lay down two hard-hitting verses that highlight their flashy lifestyles, imposing presences, and reflections on their past criminal activities. Tyler delivers his signature dark, villainous style, while Maxo approaches it with his usual laid-back style and effortless delivery. Despite being a strong contender, “Cracc Era” feels more like a solid album filler—a track that adds grit and swagger but doesn’t steal the spotlight.
