Bastard is the debut studio album by the American rapper Tyler, the Creator. It was self-produced by Tyler, the Creator, and self-released on December 25, 2009.[3][4] Due to its free online release and lack of retail availability, Bastard is commonly considered an album, however Tyler later clarified that it was his album debut.[5] The mixtape was self-released on Odd Future's Tumblr page for free.[6][7]
