Odd Future have always been a very closely knit collective. A collective is a group of artists and performers coming together to form a flexible group. Every member or a group of members can create something new which is then released by a record label formed exclusively to release their music. In the case of Odd Future that record label is Odd Future Records which is exclusively owned by the group themselves and releases creations by its members only. The collective is also known as the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All in short called OFWGKTA by their fans. They were formed in 2007 by the Tyler, The Creator. Tyler is a producer, rapper, fashion designer and a graphic artist who can be seen rapping on most of the Odd Future releases. He is brash, he is loud mouthed but he has talent to back it all up. The group now consists of a total of ten members who apart from Tyler are, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Hodgy Beats, Left Brain, Mike G, Frank Ocean, Jasper Dolphin, Taco Bennettand Syd da Kyd. Odd Future is further divided into various other groups within the collective like MellowHype which consists the due of Left Brain and Hodgy Beats, The Internet which as Matt Martians and Syd da Kid and The Jet Age of Tomorrow formed by Hal Williams and Matt Martians.
 
Odd Future released their first creation titled The Odd Future Tape in 2008 and it could be downloaded for free. The record did fairly well and helped in giving the collective an identity. Then came the second mix tape titled Radical in 2010 that further increased their profile. 12 Odd Future Songs, a collection of already released twelve songs from members of the group was released to mass critical acclaim. The album contained the very best of what makes Odd Future so popular amongst their fans. In March, 2012 they went a step further and released their first ever studio album titled The Odd Future Tape Vol. 2. The album received positive responses from fans and critics alike for their attempt at treading new ground by broadening their music to new pastures.
