If you enjoy following artists that are blowing up faster than baby Jesus at a southern Christian revival camp then you would already be familiar with Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All(OFWGKTA), and in particular Tyler the Creator.
The 20 year old wordsmith from Cali has exploded into the world of hip hop leaving the old guard scratching their heads and picking brain splats off their much loved bling.
Not that Tyler is above the whole bling thang himself as you can see in his clip below for YONKERS where he sports enough of the stuff to start his own chain gang as well as cause severe posture issues.
He's played the MTV music awards, performed with The Roots on Jimmy Fallon and over the next three (sold out) nights Odd Future will be tearing holes in the lit up sails of SYDNEY'S Opera Heezy(that's my hip-hop slang for house).
His album GOBLIN dropped a couple of weeks back. Tyler is at his best when he's at his darkest. And simplest. His obsession with bitches and fellatio creates a downturn in the album that holds a lot of gems: GOBLIN, ZONKERS, RADICALS, TRON CAT, and GOLDEN plus bonus track BURGER.
Dark and clever the album is less Marquis de Sade and more EMINEM, which I'm sure he would hate - It's kind of like a whole album of GUILTY CONSCIENCE.
The kids will eat this shit up for breakfast and he's going to be a huge force in Hip-Hop for many years no doubt. I hope he can maintain his rage as he comes out of his youth. If so his lyrics will be phenomenal...
Check out the clip to YONKERS...Oh yeah...and he is a fuckin' Unicorn.
