Closer is the third studio album by British hip hop musician Ty. It was released on Big Dada in 2006.

Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic said: "With his third album, Ty earned the right to be called consistently brilliant."[1] Bram Gieben of The Skinny called it "a purist hip-hop album, with 12 killer basslines, some really poppy hooks, and some intelligent, inspiring lyrics."[4]
