Ocean’s album, which he’s jestingly labelled ‘bluegrass’, is a hybrid piece, but one which reveals his songwriting credentials, smooth vocal delivery and ability to make RnB which doesn’t sound artificial. Hooking up with OFWGKTA, he released his first solo record nostalgia, ULTRA for free on his website, from where you can still download it for nothing. Signed to Island Def Jam records at the end of 2009, he’s written songs for John Legend and Brandy, but never got any traction with the label as a singer. Odd Future is actually composed of many members, and Frank Ocean is one of them. Tyler, the Creator has taken to the big stage quickly and is the group’s de facto leader, but most gloss over its other members and output outside of the totemic street-rap they’ve become famous for. Releasing all their material absolutely free via their Tumblr blog, they’ve accrued a loyal following in no time, and now are renowned for their controversial, dark rap output and chaotic, kinetic live shows. Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, known more commonly as unwieldy acronym OFWGKTA or simply Odd Future, have quickly risen from Los Angeles skate rats to an idolised rap collective.
