Odd Future, also known as Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, was an American hip-hop collective founded in 2007 by Tyler, The Creator. The group, which included rappers, skateboarders, visual artists, and producers, drew comparisons to the Wu-Tang Clan due to its rotating cast of members and solo projects. Notable members included Earl Sweatshirt and Frank Ocean.
