Odd FutureComplexIndie Intro
Videos
Earl Sweatshirt's video for "Earl" (embedded above) is Odd Future's most-watched clip, for good reason. It serves as a proper introduction to the caliber of rhymes that are getting them a slew of attention right now, but also their grimy, horrorcore-style subject matter, often reminiscent of early Eminem. Additional standouts like Tyler, The Creator's "VCR" and other videos can be found on the OFWGKTA YouTube channel.

The group releases all of their music for free. There's a constant stream of new material available at OddFuture.com, but their flagship projects (complete with self-appropriated descriptions) are as follows:

Press
Good luck getting an interview with these kids. A serious one, at least. (Unless you're The Madbury Club.) From what sources told us, Odd Future rolls as a unit and they're not into letting the media break through that shell. Even though their profile is rising, they're still just kids who skate together and record music for fun. Interviews turn Odd Future into a job, and it seems like they're still in the "we don't give a fuck" phase. Good for them.
