Tyga embraces a new sound with alter ego on ‘$TARFACE’

When you think of Tyga, you probably think of his rap career and the hits that made him famous. That’s why he created an alter ego and embraced a completely different sound on his new project, $TARFACE. “This is the first project that people are seeing that’s completely different than other things that I’ve done,” he says. Just ’80s music mostly, but really ’80s films and just the whole culture of the ’80s,” Tyga says. Rather than simply borrowing from the era, Tyga wanted the album to sound as if it were released then.
