"St. Chroma" is a song by American rapper Tyler, the Creator featuring Canadian singer Daniel Caesar, released on October 28, 2024 as the opening track from his eighth studio album Chromakopia.
The song finds Tyler, the Creator rapping in a whispering tone,[4][3] over a beat consisting of marching stomps and handclaps,[3][5] synthesizers,[6][7] choir[6][8] and flute.
Tom Breihan of Stereogum remarked, "Judging by its brief length and past precedent, the video probably doesn't include the entire song.
Tyler's penchant for angelic-sounding string arrangements is at its most potent on the track, with vocals from Daniel Caesar, while, lyrically, he's vibrant and dynamic, switching up his flow as he brags from a place less material and more metaphysical.
and a modular synth speeding up its frequency like a kettle about to blow, makes it feel like we're traversing space and time straight into Tyler's psyche.
"[7] David Crone of AllMusic considered it "Tyler's strongest intro to date", calling it "an immediate collage of intent, flip-flopping from scratchy militarism to soaring gospel", and described the song as part of a "militia-like opening trio" (alongside the songs "Rah Tah Tah" and "Noid") that "creates a brilliant, unified new sound".
