[Free Album Stream] Earl Sweatshirt - 'Doris'

I'm not one to vocally deem myself an avid fan of Odd Future, but my CD collection from the past year begs to differ. After streaming Earl Sweatshirt's new album, I'm positive that my physical copies of Frank Ocean's Channel Orange and Tyler, The Creator's Wolf will soon be joined by Doris.

Now that the "Where's Earl?" phenomenon has ended and the shock value surrounding Odd Future has calmed down a bit, it's time to see if the nineteen-year old emcee is really the prodigy he's been proclaimed to be. Stream Doris courtesy of Odd Future's Souncloud HERE, and check out the visuals to the Tyler, The Creator featured "Whoa" below. Be sure to cop on August 20th if you like what you hear!

Earl Sweatshirt ft. Frank Ocean - "Sunday"

Earl Sweatshirt was the sole rap feature on Frank Ocean's debut album channel ORANGE, and the favor's been returned as the singer-songwriter morphs into an emcee on "Sunday." Frank's half of the record is an added bonus to Earl's well-crafted verse as Odd Future's most skilled lyricist takes on the simplistically intricate self-produced track.

Stream "Sunday" below, and hit the jump to see Earl's television debut as he took to Late Night Jimmy Fallon to premiere "Burgundy" with The Roots. Doris hits shelves August 20th,

[Music Video] Frank Ocean - "Lost"

If I had my way, each song from Frank Ocean's channel Orange would have a visual counterpart. It looks as if I'm one step to having my dream come true as Frank let loose the music video for the upbeat track "Lost."

Watch below as director Francisco Soriano compiles moments from Frank's summer of 2012, and be sure to buy the Grammy Award winning album on Amazon or iTunes if you haven't already!

[Music Video] Tyler, The Creator - "IFHY" + 'Wolf' [Album Stream]

Tyler, The Creator plans to release his album Wolf tomorrow, and both the critics and fans are giving the Odd Future general his props on this one. The Sony distributed album is a proper follow up to his previous efforts Bastard and Goblin as we find Tyler in a more elevated creative space in terms of  production and lyrical delivery.

While Odd Future videos have always been entertaining, Tyler also stepped up his game in the visual department. Watch below as he brings a Mattel themed nightmare to life in the visuals to the Pharrell featured "IFHY."


To hear how the rest of Wolf sounds before it hits stores tomorrow, stream the album in full after the jump!

Mikky Ekko - "Pull Me Down" (The Internet Remix)

Even if you think you've never heard of Mikky Ekko, chances are you've sung along to "Stay" on Rihanna's latest album Unapologetic. His solo repertoire, however, is more impressive than the RiRi feature and the amount of remixes of his Clams Casino produced "Pull Me Down" is proof of that.

If I had to spotlight one remix in particular--which I am--, the Nashville musician's single sounds best in the hands of Odd Future duo The Internet. Enjoy Syd The Kid and Matt Martian's remix of "Pull Me Down" below, and be sure to check out their original tracks HERE.

Domo Genesis x Alchemist - No Idols [New Mixtape]

Domo Genesis, who I consider the most overlooked and underrated member of Odd Future has made a lot of waves in the past 24 hours with his mixtape, No Idols, a joint project with Alchemist. There's no question that the production is on point, and Domo seems to be getting better and better with each track.With features from Action Bronson, Smoke DZA, Prodigy, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler, The Creator, and Freddie Gibbs, you'd be crazy to pass No Idols by. d(^_^)b Guaranteed.

Bahaha: Tyler, The Creator & Earl Sweatshirt Address Frank Ocean's "Love For Bagels" [VIDEO]

Ever since Frank Ocean came out as bisexual on the fourth of the July, there's been a lot of talk surrounding what his statement means for his future and also for the black and hip hop communities themselves. His Odd Future brothers Tyler, The Creator and Earl Sweatshirt could care less about his preferences, and they explained this (sort of) when they sat down with MTV News and added their signature humor to the entire situation.

July 17th. Channel Orange. What is that? Ummmmm. My guess is a new project. Or at least I hope that's what it is.

Frank Ocean, in his usual mysterious fashion, dropped off this teaser video via Tumblr this morning, so that means something's coming! As soon as I find out you know I've got you.

From the sounds of "Math," this is probably a Frank Ocean demo for someone else. But you know how that goes... Might be his single in a few months.

I'm convinced this new track from Frank Ocean is a track like those on his Lonny Breaux Collection--OLD. Because the lyrics and sound definitely aren't of the caliber of Nostalgia/Ultra and some of his new material. Posting it nevertheless.
