Tyga Reinvents Himself As $TARFACE On “Gave U Racks”

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

It looks like Tyga is trying something new by experimenting with an old-school style.

Tyga is entering a completely different lane with his new alter ego, $TARFACE. His latest single, “Gave U Racks,” trades modern trap production for shimmering synth-pop, making it clear that he’s fully embracing the colorful sounds of the 1980s.

Everything about the song feels intentionally nostalgic. The bright synthesizers, polished melodies, upbeat tempo, and larger-than-life production all capture the spirit of classic ’80s pop. Tyga adjusts his approach accordingly, leaning into melodic vocals and relaxed confidence rather than trying to have the beat in a headlock.

What makes the record work is its commitment. Instead of casually sprinkling retro influences into a contemporary song, “Gave U Racks” fully commits to its identity from beginning to end. That confidence gives the single a personality that’s difficult to ignore and leaves plenty of room for the $TARFACE concept to continue evolving.

I know y’all are probably going to think this track is stupid, but I actually think it’s pretty damn catchy and well-made. Keep doing your thing, $TARFACE.

Worst Christmas Ever! is a solid example of Sufjan Stevens’s Christmas music. He’s able to take existing pieces and give them interesting, dynamic spins while still keeping the charm, nostalgia, and message of the original works. His own original songs are also very good, especially “Sister Winter.” I like the structure that is rarely deviated from: Christmas classic, Sufjan original, etc.
