Odd Future Records was an American record label founded by rapper and producer Tyler, the Creator of Odd Future in 2011. It operated as a division of Sony Music Entertainment.[1]

History

[edit]

Odd Future Records was founded by Tyler, the Creator in 2011 as a means to release material from the Odd Future collective.[2][3] Despite this, members Earl Sweatshirt (though the logo appears on formats of Earl's debut studio album Doris) and Frank Ocean did not sign.[4] Hardcore punk band Trash Talk signed in 2012.[5][6]

In 2016, the label went defunct following the group's disbandment.
