Odd Future's live performance thrives off the energy of the crowd, something they themselves admitted during an interview with BBC Radio's Zane Lowe earlier today. So it's understandable why the collective's subsequent in-studio performance left much to be desired - a radio studio and "golf wang" chants don't mesh too well. But if there was one thing to take away from the performance it'd be the debut of Tyler the Creator 's "Analog". The track, which features Hodgy Beats, is our latest offering from the MC's forthcoming LP Goblin , due for release May [...]

XL Recordings will release all 15 tracks on May 10th and pre-orders are now ongoing . [...]
Just a day or so after reportedly being courted by the likes of Jay-Z and Diddy , one of OFWGKTA 's less celebrated members, Mike G , drops the Left Brain-produced track "Forest Green". As his Odd Future compatriots have already established, the track features another off-the-wall beat.

While Tyler might be the creator , Odd Future's Hodgy Beats is a skilled MC in his own right.

As if getting signed to XL Recordings , killing it on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon , and meeting Biebs weren't enough to further legitimize himself and his crew, Odd Future woke up this morning to another round of career bumps. First, chillwave's supreme being, aka Toro y Moi , took Tyler, the Creator's barking a capella track called "French" and spun his own uniquely smooth beat over it, adding an air of minor eloquence. Below, you can hear the end result, via Gorilla vs. Bear . The Los Angeles collective [...]
