Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, normally shortened to Odd Future and abbreviated to OFWGKTA (stylized OFWGK†Δ), (with an upside down cross), is an American hip hop collective formed in Los Angeles in 2006-07. The collective was originally formed by Tyler, The Creator with Hodgy, Left Brain, Pyramid Vritra, Jasper Dolphin. Later members include Earl Sweatshirt, Frank Ocean, Domo Genesis, Mike G, Casey Veggies, Syd. Outside of music, Odd Future have an Adult Swim skit show called Loiter Squad, a fashion design called Golf Wang, and a phone app called Golf Media that contains exclusive interviews, behind the scenes, and cartoons. Every year since 2012, Odd Future has held the annual Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles where members of Odd Future, as well as other supporting acts, perform live and host a carnival.
Odd Future formed around 2006–07 in Los Angeles. The original members were founder Tyler, the Creator (Tyler Okonma), Left Brain (Vyron Turner), Hodgy Beats and Jasper Dolphin (Davon Wilson). At some point before the release of Bastard, Chicago-based rapper brandUn DeShay collaborated with the group, and appeared on the track "Session," but Tyler and DeShay had a falling out, and his vocals on "Session" were replaced by Mike G. Much of their early music was recorded in a room of Syd tha Kyd and Taco's South Central Los Angeles home, known as the Trap.
