Pyramid Work.

Almost immediately after his very impressive SNL performance last Saturday, Frank Ocean reveals the music video for his channel ORANGE single, Pyramids. One of my favorite directors in the industry right now, Nabil, directed this one and I am not disappointed. The slightly NSFW video show Frankie Oceans as he goes on a (possibly Molly influenced) psychedelic journey through strip clubs and highways until he ends up at a strange object with John Mayer playing the same guitar solo from the SNL performance. This video is absolutely amazing and Nabil is going to keep growing as a creative visionary. I can’t wait to see how he grows and, hopefully, I’ll be up there with them. channel ORANGE is available now on iTunes.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about good ol’ Tyler, but the other day I stumbled upon this interview video of him by Yours Truly. I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen it before, but I feel like I would’ve. Oh well. Anyways, in the interview, Tyler talks about his roots in music and how he went from trying to read sheet music to performing on stage today. Tyler also displays some of his piano playing, which is quite impressive actually. He also talks about how he’s changed in just a year and how he could be in the future. I have always respected, more or less, Tyler the Creator because of his sheer talent and how smart he could be when he’s not being immature and stupid. I can’t wait for him to really mature into an artist and see where he is in the near future.

The video finishes with a hilarious little bit with Hodgy Beats. So funny.

The current talk within the music world and Odd Future member, Frank Ocean, released his new album, channel ORANGE, a week early on iTunes last night. The OFWGKTA vocalist dropped his highly-anticipated debut studio album and Nostalgia, Ultra follow-up in a full album stream also. The album features his latest singles Pyramids, Sweet Life, and Bad Religion, which he performed last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

The album is absolutely amazing, but I mean most people expected nothing less. Grammy-worthy? I guess we’ll find out. You can listen to the entire album below via the full album stream before you decide to purchase it. I’m definitely going to cop the physical copy next week when it drops. The album, channel ORANGE is now available for purchase through iTunes and will drop in stores next Tuesday, July 17.

Syd Tells Us.

Syd tha Kid is definitely, by far, one of the most interesting members of OFWGKTA, especially considering she’s the only female member. She also just released her own side project with fellow Odd Future member, Matt Martians, called the Internet and their debut album, Purple Naked Ladies. The albums is a totally different direction than any of their Odd Future shit and is definitely worth a listen.

Lance Bangs brings us a short documentary of sorts on Syd tha Kid and her Internet project. Right away, you can tell that there’s a lot that Syd really brings to the table. She has a lot to talk about. You can also tell that this girl is really talented and is living the life that she should. I’m excited to see what she brings in the future. Check out Cocaine by The Internet below to see the stuff that she has been working on.

Ye, Wolf, and Ocean.

The Golf Wang tumblr updated their blog with some new pictures yesterday and they’re pretty interesting. They posted some picture of, what looks like, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, and Tyler, the Creator in the studio working on something. I hope these are new pictures because if they’re old, it could just be pictures from when Ocean worked with Kanye on Watch the Throne. If it is new, I wonder what they’re working on. Maybe for that upcoming Odd Future mixtape or the second Watch the Throne album, or maybe even Good Ass Job. Let’s hope for good things!

OddFutureWolfGangKillThemAll‘s side project, The Internet, dropped their debut album a few weeks ago. I listened to a few tracks, but I never really got around to listening to it in its entirety. Its a dope album. Its not hip-hop or rap like the usual OddFuture shit and it doesn’t even really sound like anything the OFWGKTA kids have released before. Or at least, not that I know of. Its more along the lines of trip-hop with a bit more of that R&B and hip-hop feel. Even if you don’t like the OddFuture or Tyler’s stuff, check out the album. You might enjoy it.

The kids over at OddFuture just released a promo video for the album. Check it out below.
