Big news for Odd Future as they signed with RED Distribution/Sony. They have been talking to big artists such as Jay-Z, P Diddy, and many others that wanted them to sign to their labels. This west coast group is making a lot of noise in the music world. They signed basically to themselves, with RED Distribution backing them up, they are going to have “Odd Future Records” or whatever they want to call it. Odd Future will make most the calls. With Frank Ocean of OFWGKTA already being signed to Def Jam, they are in cooperation and are excited to work together, and with Earl Sweatshirt supposedly at a Samoan a military school, Im sure they did not leave him out of the contract. This is great news to know they will stick with their style, and will not have to dull it down. Check out some of my favorites down below from OFWGKTA.
“It’s based on getting the distribution deal we’ve always envisioned that allows the group to “sign themselves” to their own company and keep their masters. They will have 100% creative control of all aspects of their music, art, and release schedule with no 3rd party participation in outside business. Freedom and ownership was the whole point. Red and Sony know that its in everyone’s best interest to maintain the group’s authenticity and control. They built it, they deserve it. There’s no cheesy hooks or fluorescent liquor product placements in the works.. It’s about to be fun.. and different…” – Chris Clancy (Odd Future’s Manager)
