Describing the event as one of the "greatest nights of my life", Tyler stated that people danced their hearts out. In the statement, the rapper wrote:

"I asked some friends why they don’t dance in public and some said because of the fear of being filmed... It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme, all for having a good time."

He further remarked:

"No phones allowed. No cameras. Just speakers and a sweatbox. Everyone was dancing, moving, expressing, sweating. It was truly beautiful..."

Tyler additionally said that he played the album twice, and the energy among the crowd seemed to be rising each time. According to him, a sense of "freedom" was spreading all across the room.

Tyler, the Creator's latest album arrived much like his previous release, Chromakopia, without a lengthy rollout. In a July 19 article, The Hollywood Reporter speculated that the new album would be released on a Monday, noting that the rapper has previously spoken against the usual trend of dropping albums on Fridays.

For the unversed, in 2023, Tyler, the Creator told Canadian journalist Nardwuar:

"I think we should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, for some reasons. My reasoning is, I know people think because of the weekend, they can listen to stuff and the streams go up."

Tyler further said:

"And the streaming people are like, 'Oh, the streams go up on the weekend!' But I think it's a lot of passive listening, at parties or people get the time to go to the gym, so they're not really listening."

The outlet also pointed out that Tyler, the Creator, had dropped Chromakopia on a Monday. As aforementioned, a listening party for the album was also arranged in Los Angeles for $5 on Sunday, July 20. The fans attending the event became some of the first to experience the music before its official release.
