OFWGKTA, often abbreviated Odd Future, is an American alternative hip hop collective from Los Angeles, California. The group is led by rapper/producer Tyler, The Creator, and includes rappers Hodgy Beats, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis and Mike G, singer Frank Ocean, producers Left Brain, Syd tha Kyd, Matt Martians, and Hal Williams, and other non-musical members, notably Jasper Dolphin, Taco and L-Boy.
There are multiple groups inside the collective: The Jet Age of Tomorrow, EarlWolf, The Internet and MellowHype.
Odd Future formed in 2007 in Los Angeles. The original members were founder Tyler, the Creator, Left Brain, Hodgy Beats, and Tj Starr The Super 3, Jasper Dolphin and Casey Veggies, the latter of which appeared only on the group's debut mixtape before branching out to other projects. However Casey Veggies remains a close contributor. At some point before the release of Bastard, Brandun DeShay joined the group, and appeared on the track Session, but Tyler and DeShay had a falling out, and his vocals on Session were replaced by Mike G. Tyler also dissed DeShay on his track Yonkers. Much of their music is recorded in a room in Syd the Kyd's and Taco's house, known as the Trap, located in South Los Angeles. They have produced multiple releases, the first of which were available for free on their website.
Dominique Marquis Cole (born March 9, 1991), better known by his stage name Domo Genesis, is an American rapper from Los Angeles, currently signed to Odd Future Records. He is a member of the alternative hip hop collective OFWGKTA. He briefly attended Arizona State University before leaving his studies to focus on a career in rapping.
Domo joined Odd Future because he was very good friends with Tyler, the Creator. His debut album Rolling Papers was released on August 30, 2010. The album is primarily a "weed rap" album. Production was done almost entirely by Tyler, the Creator. It was met with generally positive reviews, with one reviewer saying "he shows lyrical skills throughout with interesting punchlines and weed-obsessed lyrics."
His mixtape Under The Influence was released on September 20, 2011. Much like his first release, Under the Influence is mostly about his love for smoking marijuana, as well as style. Many saw this second album as a vast improvement over his first, citing "it's focused and rarely lacking in style — or yeah, SWAG."
