Bastard is the debut studio album by the American rapper Tyler, the Creator. It was self-produced by Tyler, the Creator, and self-released free of charge on December 25, 2009, on Odd Future's Tumblr page.[2][3] Due to its free online release and lack of retail availability, Bastard was initially considered to be a mixtape, however, Tyler and other sources in the future have referred to it as an album.[4]
