Odd Future ‘Sign Themselves’ to Their Own Record Label

Theboombox :    The Odd Future crew has been courted by multiple record label honchos — including Bad Boy’s Sean “Diddy” Combs and SRC’s Steve Rifkind — for their services, even leading the collective to spoof the meetings in a Funny or Die video.

But, after months of hype, OFWGKTA have decided to “sign themselves,” their management tells The BoomBox.

“LA artist collective OFWGKTA continue down a non-traditional path creating their own recorded music label ‘Odd Future Records’,” the group’s management said in a statement.

“Tyler, Hodgy, Leftbrain, Domo, Mike, Syd and crew will partner with Sony’s RED Distribution arm to release music-based content consistent with their vision.”

By opting for a distribution deal via RED, Odd Future will be able to retain total creative control of their music.

The power move makes sense when considering the LA based crew has become a media darling by remaining steadfast in their anti-music establishment rhetoric and creating music on their own terms.
