OFWGKTA Members Release New Videos; Work With Kanye, Jay-Z; California Tour Dates

Odd Future/OFWGKTA members Hodgy Beats and Left Brain’s group MellowHype has released visuals for track “64” off the re-release of their 15-track second album, BlackenedWhite, which is dropping on July 12th on Fat Possum Records.

The album has features from other Odd Future members, including Domo Genesis, Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean.

The video for "64" was directed by Matt Alonzo for Modern Artists Creative, based on a concept from MellowHype member Hodgy Beats.

Another Odd Future member, Tyler, the Creator, recently released a video for “She” featuring Frank Ocean, off of his album Goblin which is in stores now.

The video was directed by Wolf Haley and filmed by Luis Ponch Perez.

Odd Future member Frank Ocean has revealed that he will be hitting the studio with both Jay-Z and Kanye West to work on their upcoming collaboration project Watch the Throne, although it is unclear whether or not his work will end up on one the year’s most anticipated records.

In a Tumblr post to himself, Frank wrote: “"Idea don’t wanna spoil too much for you, but.. you’re on a plane right now to the east coast to work with kanye west & jay-z. it’s all working out kid. you made it."

Not only has he been able to live out one of his dreams, he has also spent time in the studio with Beyonce, Justin Beiber, Pharell, as well as working with Nas on his 10th album Life Is Good, which is expected to drop sometime in the Fall.

However, no confirmations have been made as to which of his works will end up on these artist’s releases.

Ocean’s own project Nostalgia, Ultra is also being re-released with some new material this summer. His single “Novacane” is now available for purchase on iTunes.
