Fresh off his Grammy win for Frank Ocean’s channel ORANGE, singer-songwriter-producer Om’Mas Keith is setting his sights on two of hip-hop’s most-buzzed-about newcomers, Earl Sweatshirt and Azealia Banks.
The Queens-bred Keith could hardly contain his excitement when speaking about the Odd Future rapper’s upcoming album Doris.
“Earl’s album is very special, very creative,” Om’Mas told Rap-Up TV. “There are some very special people on that, and I think Earl is definitely a contender for Best Rap Album of the year next year for sure. I see Earl with Best Rap Album. I see Earl with Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. I definitely see him with a slew of acknowledgements next year.”
He has also been in the studio with Azealia Banks for her debut Broke With Expensive Taste. “I was very pleased to find out that she was an amazing artist, an artist’s artist,” he said. “The stuff that I worked on is very refreshing and creative.”
Om’Mas has been making noise with his own album City Pulse, which be can streamed on SoundCloud.
Tyler, the Creator steps into the ring in the off-the-wall video for “Domo 23,” the first release from his third album Wolf. The Odd Future madman plays a wrestler named Fookie Bookie with blond dreads and metallic spandex, taking on his fellow OFWGKTA member Domo Genesis in the clip, which he directed.
Tyler ends up kicking Domo’s ass, slamming him to the ground, and winning the title. Look for Earl Sweatshirt as referee and his Odd Future brethren in the audience.
The video cuts to another new song off Wolf featuring Frank Ocean. Tyler rides out the window of his BMW with his girl as he sings, “You remind me of my Bimmer.”
Wolf is due April 2. Prior to the album’s release, Tyler will launch a U.S. tour beginning March 12 in Columbus, Ohio.
Tyler, the Creator reveals not one, but three covers for his upcoming album Wolf. The Odd Future frontman shows his quirkiness and sense of humor with the diverse artwork.
He shoves his face in the camera on the black-and-white selfie and poses for a cheesy portrait in another. The deluxe artwork, designed by pop surrealist Mark Ryden, features an illustration of him on a bike in the forest.
“I WENT IN MY ROOM LAST NIGHT AND LISTENED TO THIS. FRONT TO BACK. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. HOPEFULLY YOU F****** DO TO,” tweeted Tyler.
Due April 2, Wolf marks the follow-up to his 2011 album Goblin, which spawned the singles “Yonkers” and “She” featuring Frank Ocean.
He plans to release a video for “Domo 23″ at 9 p.m. PST today and will launch a U.S. tour in March. See an itinerary below.
Odd Future is up to more trouble in season 2 of “Loiter Squad.” The crazy crew is back including Tyler, the Creator, Lionel, Jasper Dolphin, and Taco. Even the recently reunited Earl Sweatshirt gets in on the fun. They invade the beaches of Hawaii to pull some more disgusting, hilarious, and strange pranks. Season 2 premieres Sunday, March 10, at midnight on Adult Swim.
Miley Cyrus is calling on a couple odd collaborators for what she calls her “biggest album” yet. The former Disney star has enlisted Tyler, the Creator for a new song she penned with Mary J. Blige.
Hipsters and hip-hop heads unite. A slew of hip-hop, rock, and alternative acts are once again headed to the desert for the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Tyler, the Creator got a Christmas surprise when Kanye West showed up to the Odd Future store in Los Angeles over the weekend.
“Hai My Friend Came By The OF Store Today ( creep face haha),” tweeted Tyler, who posed for a funny photo with ‘Ye. “I STILL FAN OUT NO MATTER WHO IT IS THIS SHIT IS GNAR.”
A year ago, he gave Yeezy a piece of art that he created. “HE WAS SUPER STOKED AND I WAS SUPER FUCKING STOKED. JUST THOUGHT ID TELL YOU,” shared Tyler.
Later in the day, Tyler and his OF groupmates played their third annual Christmas show in Santa Ana, Calif.

Game celebrated his release day in his hometown of L.A. After making a quick trip to New York, the Compton MC headlined a show at the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. on Tuesday night.
Just like his new album Jesus Piece, there was no shortage of stars. The guest list included Tank, King Chip, Mac Miller, DJ Quik, and more. Tyler, the Creator joined him on “Martians vs. Goblins” and Tyga came out for “Celebration.” But the biggest surprise of the night was when all five members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony hit the stage to perform the remix.
“You know how hard it is to get all five Bone members to L.A. on the same night?” said Game before bringing out the Cleveland group.
