“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

By opting for a distribution deal via RED, Odd Future will be able to retain total creative control of their music.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
