Odd Future Week: Frank Ocean @frank_ocean


Last year, R&B unknown Frank Ocean, was fortunate enough to land a record deal with label giant Def Jam Recordings. It was actually through a mutual friend, Tricky Stewart, that Frank was able to be seen and heard. Unfortunately his relationship with the record label was compromised, when Frank took it upon himself to leak his upcoming solo debut Nostalgia,Ultra free to download via his Tumblr back in February. The sudden release of the album was almost too overwhelming to handle. His music was soothing and fresh. A real turn for the better for music in general. In the same week The Weeknd was also discovered and leaked his debut album House of Balloons via Drakes Blog, Octobersveryown.net. Music is in a state of rebuilding right now and Frank Ocean has contributed a great deal so far in such a short time.

Since he evacuated from New Orleans right before Katrina hit in 2005, he has worked with some of music's biggest names. He was quick to make a name for himself with his dream-esque writing style. He has written numerous songs for artists such as Justin Bieber(Bigger) and Beyonce(I Miss You) and has most recently appeared on the worldwide album phenomenon known as Watch The Throne(No Church in the Wild, Made in America) just to name a few.

After bridges were burned with Def Jam he found himself fitting comfortably with LA's own Odd Future. Although the Los Angeles based singer is a proud member of Odd Future, in a recent interview he says each member has separate lives outside of the crew. “That’s family” he explains, “It’s a crew, but it’s not like a boy band where we’re like this cohesive thing that moves and does everything together. We’re like a crew of a bunch of different artists who create their own thing and their own wave.” The best is yet to come for this young talent. Be sure to check out Frank Ocean & Odd Future on tour in the US starting September 28, 2011.

Best3 of Los Angeles Hip-Hop - Tyler, the Creator



This week Odd Future starts another 'long trips and sleepless nights' tour kicking off Wednesday night in San Diego, CA. @ihate_chris will be at the show in Los Angeles Thursday night, so be sure to stayed tuned to #nextinshow for that later this week. To some people, Tyler, the Creator and the Wolf Gang might be getting played out, but don't forget that real recognize real and Odd Future is the truth. Their group is very versatile in talents. They produce their own music, promote themselves, and even started their own label. All members are self-made entrepreneurs("a lifestyle i look up to"). He recently received MTV's Best New Artist Award for his exceptional work on the visual Yonkers. His 2nd studio album GOBLIN also released earlier this year and as of September 7, 2011 it has sold 118,000 copies. since then he has appeared on a track with Pusha T "Trouble on my Mind" and also the recently released "Martians vs. Goblins ft Lil Wayne" off the Game's R.E.D. Album.


 Www.oddfuture.com has been on/off crashing with traffic in the past couple weeks. Last week Domo Genesis released his new mixtape #Undertheinfluence, which productively trended throughout the day. Then, a few days ago a mysterious song appeared on the site from the newest signee to the odd future label, Young N***** (minus the stars). The track, Come Through Looking Clean', is produced by Tyler, the Creator, and SUPRISE, Young N***** is another alter ego of Wolf Haley aka Tyler. Great stuff though. He really touches his inner Waka Flaka with this character. i can't wait for the mixtape to release, Expensive Pasta.


Last night another suprise leaked onto the WolfGang blog. A group called The Internet, which includes OF dj, Syd tha Kid and Matt Martian (Odd future producer), released a new song called Love Songs. Can't wait for more from them.

 Tyler, the Creator and the rest of Odd Future are killing it this year and the next at least. Be on the look out for 2012. The world will end with Odd Future. #Mellowhype article. Look forward to write-ups all week on Odd Future Wolf Gang Members#nextinshow.
