He released his first mix-tape entitled “Bastard” in December 2009, and it scooped the 32nd position on Pitchfork Media list. He released his popular music video “Yonkers” in 2011 on his album “Goblin” – the video attracted a lot of media attention, and Tyler later confirmed that he had signed with XL Recordings for a one-album contract.
