Tierra Whack Announces World Wide Whack
Tierra Whack will release her new album will drop on March 15th. The full-length is entitled WORLD WIDE WHACK, and will be available via Interscope records and DSPs.
For Tierra’s album artwork, she scoffs at convention by creating a work of art with American conceptual artist Alex Da Corte, who previously directed the rapper’s stirring animation “Dora.” Dubbed a visual art project, Alex Da Corte and Tierra will bring her fictional character, WORLD WIDE WHACK, to life. Nylon recently named her as “one of music’s biggest rule-breakers.”
Over the weekend, Tierra kicked off her campaign in Philadelphia, by ‘Pasting The Town Whack’, in which she enlisted her hometown neighbor and mural art curator Conrad Benner of Streets Dept to plaster her album artwork at eight different high traffic locations throughout her beloved city.
With references including Pierrot, the original sad clown of 17th-century Italian theater, radical 1930s fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, and Donna Summer, Alex Da Corte’s cover art represents the first reveal of the WORLD WIDE WHACK character, an alter ego both untouchable and vulnerable, superhuman and painfully human, whose surprising story will unfold in images and video over the course of the album’s visual rollout.
Last year, Tierra released of her one-off records “Chanel Pit” and the Jumbo Mix for “Millions.” She and Lil Yachty also graced the cover of Rolling Stone for their Musicians-on-Musicians issue, which gained notable fanfare due to their inventive spirits. To top off her dazzling year, Tierra released her creative music documentary Cypher, which blurred the lines of reality and fiction. Directed by Chris Moukarbel and in partnership with Andscape, Cypher is currently available on Hulu.
