Hopefully they can make some new iPhone 5 cases, but this will do for now. Building off the success of the recent OFWGKTA Carnival held in collaboration with Incase, Odd Future have teamed up for a release of iPhone 4s snap cases. The cases enriched with the crew’s trademark visuals including the all-over-print cat motif, a tie-dye case as well as a ‘CAMP FLOG GNAW’ cream-colored case. The cases are available now in the Incase online store.

It is extremely difficult to escape the collective known as Odd Future. Whether its’ Tyler the Creator’s antics at MTV award shows, one of the many headlines detailing incidents at their shows, or the silky voice of Frank Ocean opening up Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne LP , these guys seem to be everywhere these days. Their music has been polarizing to say the least, but there is talent among them. They aim to prove that once again with the release of The OF Tape, Vol. 2.
From the outrageous intro “Hi,” you know that their IDGAF tone is firmly cemented as the LP commences. “Bitches” is a sparse track, with Domo Genius and Hodgy Beats trade bars, as they do as well on “Lean.” Wolf Gang Leader Tyler, The Creator chimes in alongside Hodgy on “NY (Ned Flander)” The Internet offers “Ya Know,” which sounds a little too much like something N.E.R.D. would do. “Analog 2″ features the in-demand Frank Ocean, who invites a lady friend to have a “good time.” Oh, and Tyler’s also there doing what he does best. Mellowhype is a train wreck on “50,” If you’ve seen the video for “Rello,” then you may have already made up your mind about the track, but it’s not that bad. Things fare better when the guys rely less of shock value and more on their talent. That said, “White,” the solo offering from Frank Ocean, would be a standout. “Sam (Is Dead)” shows Tyler displaying the same lyrical ability that made those less familiar with him pay attention on Game’s “Martians and Goblins.” last year.
Odd Future’s new group LP “The OF Tape Vol. 2″ hit stores today! In celebration the gang released the official video for the album’s final track. Check it out above!
As mentioned earlier, the OFWGKTA crew let go a new video which could easily be one of their more eerie treatment. Press play, and be the judge.
Here’s footage of the Odd Future kids when they came out on Halloween to perform at the Filmore in Miami. Later that night Lil Wayne would make a guest appearance to the show, via derickg.
The moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived. OK, maybe I’m alone in this but a few hours ago Domo Genesis dropped his Under the Influence tape. I ain’t peep it yet ’cause I was at work, but I’m about to redeem myself in, like, um…now. You should too.
