Tyler, the Creator drops a Christmas gift to his fans with a newly released freestyle remix of Kendrick Lamar‘s “Hey Now” off from his new album GNX.

Taking to X on Christmas Day, Tyler drops the new freestyle track titled “That Guy,” as he raps over Kendrick’s “Hey Now.” Alongside the song, he releases an accompanying music video, directed by Tyler himself as he appears in various obscure locations in his hometown of Hawthorne, California. The video features his Odd Future brothers Jasper Dolphin, Travis “Taco” Bennett and Lionel “L-Boy” Boyce in a scene where they all attempt to ride a bike together up an empty street. He flexes on his peers as he raps about his wealth and showing off his influence and affluence. In his freestyle, Tyler also references Kendrick’s Pop Out concert in LA back in June. Tyler can be heard rapping, “Lil bunny hop out, you seen me at the pop out / Pandemonium screaming like they brought Pac out / Stop it with the chit chat we airing out the kickback / Big stud energy the way I get my lick back / Hey now say now I’m all about my bands / Shit I’m on bitch you wouldn’t understand.”

Tyler announced the surprise freestyle remix by responding to an old post a fan tagged him in asking him to freestyle “Hey Now.” He responds with, “merry christmas. had fun with it,” linking out to the music video for “That Guy.” Watch the music video and listen to the freestyle above or below.
