Odd Future
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, better known as Odd Future and often abbreviated as OF, was an American hip-hop music collective formed in Los Angeles County, California in 2007. The original members were Tyler, the Creator, Casey Veggies, Hodgy, Left Brain, Matt Martians, Jasper Dolphin, Travis "Taco" Bennett and Syd. Later members included brandUn DeShay, Pyramid Vritra, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Mike G, Frank Ocean and Na-Kel Smith.
Odd Future self-released their debut mixtape, The Odd Future Tape, in 2008, as well as various solo and collaborative projects over the subsequent years. In 2010, they then released their second mixtape, Radical, gaining a significant rise in popularity throughout the early 2010s. Their debut studio album, The OF Tape Vol. 2, was released in 2012. Aside from music, Odd Future had an Adult Swim comedy skit show, Loiter Squad, which ran from 2012 to 2014.
Since 2016, the official status of the group has been highly disputed. While there is no conclusive announcement signifying an official breakup, the group has remained almost completely inactive, with many of its members alluding to the fact that there are no plans for the collective. Because of this, the group is generally considered to have disbanded. Today, the Odd Future branding is primarily utilized as the namesake of a loosely related clothing brand, primarily found in retailers like Zumiez. In 2018, Pitchfork wrote that Odd Future's legacy was "one that demands we bask in complicated truths, reminding us that nurturing the parts that don’t fit is how any culture moves forward."For the paths that its members followed after joining it, Odd Future is considered to be one of the most significant musical acts of the early 21st century. Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean went on to have hugely successful solo careers, Earl Sweatshirt became one of the most acclaimed artists of alternative hip hop, and Syd became a member of the successful alternative R&B band the Internet in 2011.
