Earl Sweatshirt Performs in NY, Does First Interview
Perhaps what is even more exciting is the fact that Earl made his live debut tonight at Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom. With the entire Odd Future crew by his side, Earl performed key cuts from his discography, including “Orange Juice”, “Assmilk”, and “Kill”.
Below, you can watch the Rosenberg interview, as well as an impromptu music video for OF Tape Vol. 2‘s crew cut “Oldie” that was filmed by Lance Bangs at a photoshoot with Terry Richardson.
Watch: OFWGKTA – “Rella”
Check out a new music video from Los Angeles based hip hop collective Odd Future for their song “Rella”, which features Tyler the Creator, Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis and production by Left Brain. The video comes chock full of funky wigs, samurai space suits, and laser transforming genitalia and is in promotion for the group’s next release, OF Tape Vol. 2, which will be coming out March 20th through their own Odd Future Records.
Also coming up for the crew is the premiere of their own TV show on Adult Swim, Loiter Squad. The show will premiere five days after their new tape on March 25th, and you can check out a teaser over at World Star Hip Hop.
Odd Future Update: New OF Tape and More
The collective has also announced OF Tape Vol. 2, which features new music from Tyler, the Creator, Hodgy Beats, Frank Ocean, Leftbrain, Domo Genesis, Mike G, Syd the Kyd and The Internet. The tape is a followup to the crew’s 2008 debut outing The Odd Future Mixtape, which you can download for free over here. On top of it all, Tyler and gang will also be premiering their own “Jackass”-like sketch show, Loiter Squad, March 25h on Adult Swim.
Head over here to check out a limited edition t-shirt designed by Tyler the Creator that will be released through Qubic Store. The shirt was made in response to the collective being kicked out of the lineup for Big Day Out 2012 Auckland, and they are set to have their own show at the Auckland Powerstation January 19th instead.
All future releases will be released through the crew’s own Odd Future Records.
MiaoMix Monday #5 [Halloween]
Today is Halloween and today’s the perfect day to celebrate. I put together a mix of songs that in my opinion would be great to listen to during Halloween. None of them are actually directly related to Halloween in any way, but I think they have a very suitable vibe. The playlist this week isn’t really focused on any specific genre, but the first half of the playlist is rap and the 2nd half is a mix of dubstep, folk, and R&B music. The last song is “John Wayne Gacy, Jr.” by Sufjan Stevens and if you’re at all familiar with the song, you’d think it wouldn’t fit in this playlist, but I think that it’s a perfect ending to this week’s mix.
Kid CuDi – “Maniac (feat. Cage & St. Vincent)”
Das Racist – “Sit Down, Man (feat. El-P) (Produced by Scoop Deville)”
Tyler, The Creator – “Tron Cat”
GZA/Genius – “Shadowboxin'”
The Weeknd – “Wicked Games”
Massive Attack – “Paradise Circus (Zeds Dead Remix)”
Burial – “Archangel”
Sufjan Stevens – “John Wayne Gacy, Jr.”

OFWGKTA Announce Young N*gga – “Come Threw Looking Clean”
Given the nature of LA rap collective Odd Future, I was extremely surprised to see a press release titled “ODD FUTURE RECORDS announces inaugural signing!” pop up in my email inbox earlier today. Here’s what it said:
“ODD FUTURE RECORDS SIGNS YOUNG NI**A
DEBUT SINGLE GOING LIVE AT 3PM PST TODAY
Odd Future Records is extremely excited to announce our first official signing, Young Ni**a. While our original intent was not to sign anyone to the label we simply could not pass up the opportunity to sign somebody this talented. Young Ni**a embodies the DIY ethic and persona of Odd Future along with a commercial appeal that transcends demographics. We will be premiering his first single today at 3pm PST on www.oddfuture.com”
Really? A new member by the name of Young Nigga? On Odd Future Records?
So when “Come Threw Looking Clean” finally made its appearance on Odd Future’s tumblr page, I wasn’t extremely surprised to find out the entire thing was a joke, with the “new member” actually being de-facto leader Tyler, the Creator in a beanie. Nicely played, Tyler. You can check out the song for yourself at the group’s official website here.
Mixtape: Domo Genesis – Under The Influence
It’s not the full-fledged follow up to Rolling Papers, but yesterday we got a brand new free mixtape from Odd Future‘s stoner-rap specialist Domo Genesis. His latest project, Under The Influence, is a fourteen track mixtape featuring Domo rapping over some of his favorite industry beats, including Kanye West‘s “We Major”. The whole affair sounds quite out of place in the rest of the OF catalog, firmly cementing Domo’s place as the explosive collective’s most laid back member.
Odd Future’s de-facto leader Tyler, the Creator makes an appearance as Ace on “Whole City Behind Us”. While Under The Influence, isn’t quite as polished as Tyler’s Bastard mixtape or Earl Sweatshirt‘s EARL, it’s still a great piece of work. You can download the entire mixtape below. A few choice cuts are also included below as previews.

Odd Future Announce TV Series ‘Loiter Squad’ on Adult Swim
Adult Swim announced earlier today that rapper/skater collective Odd Future will be premiering their TV show Loiter Squad on their channel next year. The TV series will feature 15 minute long live-action episodes featuring sketches, man on the street segments, pranks, and music from the Los Angeles group. Produced by Dickhouse Entertainment (Johnny Knowville, Jeff Tremaine, and Spike Jonze), Loiter Squad will follow in the footsteps of Dickhouse’s previous works, including Jackass and Nitro Circus.
Tyler, the Creator has shown his directing prowess in the past, leading to his “Yonkers” video to win the VMA for Best New Artist and 22 million views on Youtube. His Thurnis Haley skits on Youtube should also provide a preview for the content we can expect on Loiter Squad.
