Odd Future

There is a whole wiki dedicated to giving you information about Odd Future! Check it out here.

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, better known as Odd Future and often abbreviated as OF, was an American hip-hop collective that was formed and based in Los Angeles. It was founded in 2007 by Tyler, the Creator, Casey Veggies, Hodgy, Left Brain, Matt Martians, Jasper Dolphin, Taco, and Syd.^[1]

Later members included brandUn DeShay, Pyramid Vritra, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Mike G, Frank Ocean, and Na-Kel Smith. The group had many releases, but their only studio album as a group was The OF Tape Vol. 2 (2012).^[1]

The group started to disband as some of its members pursued solo interests. Not long before these endeavors, some sub-groups were created. The group had a television show, Loiter Squad, which ran from 2012 to 2014, which was the group's shift from music to comedy.^[1]

OF hasn't been fully together since 2016, with Tyler's 2018 single "OKRA" implying that the group is done for good.^[1]
