OH, TYLER.

Odd Future "leader", Tyler the Creator drops the new album, Wolf, today on OF Records/RED Distribution/Sony Music Entertainment.

New video for "IFHY" (a collaboration with Pharell) from Tyler the Creator came out last week...and, what can we say, this one welike. Extra hyped on that snippet at the end with Hodgy Beats...

Though the dude can be a bit kiddo for the masses here at the Hero, his innovation and refusal to stick to any norm is what is most important in this art and music world...props. Whatever the outcome may be. Shake your world up, you know its gotten boring anyway.

However, some here in the offices feel the need to stress that punching girls is not cool.
And soon he'll be making Beiber and Miley music anyway...

BADA$$.

Damn. Shit is real in the field. Blog time falls to the wayside.

Real NY hip-hip will always make us wake up over here at the Hero. NYC hip-hop mixtapes WERE 1999 in my world, and we are loving the resurgence of true music inspired by what hip-hop was back then, with Action Bronson channeling Ghostface at his dirtiest, and now, Joey Bada$$ and his homie Capital STEEZE recalling Mobb Deep who got nuff shots to share fa all doze...



Odd Future who? A$AP what? Rocky is killin it, can't say we fully down with the OF, but they doin they thing. But seriously though, this crew (Pro Era) & this dude (who's freshly signed to Cinematic Music Group/RED/Sony) are really something to be hyped on. And the mixtape is called 1999. Harkening back...

On a final note...this episode of Selector from Pitchfork with the Pro Era crew gives a bit of a glimpse why they hot...
