After six years of letting the spotlight speak for him, Tyga is done being quiet. The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated rapper, entrepreneur, and unapologetic king of West Coast raunch is back with his eighth studio album, NSFW. And it lives up to the name.

Released via his own Last Kings record label, NSFW is a 17-track statement piece. It’s brash, bass-heavy, and unmistakably Tyga, but this time there’s a twist. Behind the provocative hooks and strip-club anthems lies an artist pushing his own limits. From the start, NSFW pulses with a darker, more dynamic energy than anything he’s done before.

The lead single “Slave” set the tone; it’s seductive, sinister, and built around a hypnotic beat that feels more experimental than Tyga’s usual fare. Meanwhile, “Pop It Off” brings the party back, but even here, the production feels richer, more layered, as if he’s evolved beyond the formula that made “Rack City” part of a cultural moment.

The collab list reads like a who’s-who of rap, R&B, and pop royalty with Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Flo Milli, Ty Dolla Sign, and even Cher showing up to play. Yes, that Cher. And it works. Whether he’s trading bars with Mike Sherm or sharing space with Shenseea, Tyga’s charisma always holds its own and leads the way. Behind the boards, a revolving cast of producers including Lee Major, Sean Momberger, Diego Ave, and DJ Swish give the album its diversity.

From trap bangers to synth-soaked slow burns, NSFW never stays in one lane too long. It’s Tyga at his most stylistically adventurous, and maybe his most self-assured. For an artist who’s spent the better part of a decade navigating fame, fashion, and tabloid headlines, NSFW is a reminder that Tyga’s still got bars, and ambition. “I wanted this one to feel like a risk,” Tyga has hinted in recent interviews. Mission accomplished.
