With a recent chaotic/shitstorming appearance of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, love from white bred hipster bloggers, and an invitation to one of the country's biggest festivals Coachella, west coast rap contingent Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All is for lack of a better term, blowing the fuck up. With all members too young to even step foot legally in a alcohol serving establishment the group have amassed a cult following with macabre lyricism and schizophrenic production. Their leader 19 year old Tyler, The Creator is experiencing some success outside of the group with his disturbing video "Yonkers" off his upcoming album Goblin having well over 1 million hits on Youtube. The dark lyrical content of Odd Future is what mainly sets them apart from the peers in their age demographic who just discovered the word swagger in the English language. Rhymes about dismemberment and internal battles with religion are stark at first listen, but the structure and metaphorical utilization is refreshing in a currently staid rap scene.
