[Album] MellowHigh: "MellowHigh"
Ever since OFWGKTA hit the scene a few years back when Tyler ate a tarantula in his over-exposed nightmare that was Bastard, Odd Future has been a staple of the modern hip-hop world. While Tyler and Earl provided the intensity and wow factor, it has always been Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats who were recognized as the truest lyricists of the collective. Having released a couple projects as MellowHype, the pair finally teamed up with fellow OFWGKTA producer Left Brain for a full project that has been awhile in the making. True to their original name, the buzz around the album hasn't been crazy, save for a couple songs dropped on SoundCloud and the video for "Yu" which dropped earlier this month. With their latest, self-titled offering, Domo and Hodgy feel right at home over the Left Brain beats. Check out the full stream via Myspace here below along with dates for their current tour which hits Tucson, Arizona tomorrow.

Tyler, The Creator: "Look" (feat. Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, & Earl Sweatshirt)
The Odd Future conglomerate surprised their fans last night after releasing a new record featuring the group's best emcees --Tyler, The Creator, Hodgy Beats, Domo Genesis, & Earl Sweatshirt--. What's interesting about this record is the fact that underground emcee/producer Nottz is credited for the instrumental. Tyler is known for his lack of willingness to collaborate with people outside OFWGKTA's camp and we rarely get to see these four on a track all together, so having an "outsider" be part of their material is a rarity.
