The track “Pyramids” from his 2012 release Channel Orange is an example of a song much different than what contemporary r&b is used to. Ocean has not only been successful with his solo work, but has become a major authority in the music industry by producing work that has restructured the hip-hop/r&b genre overall. Frank Ocean appears to be above such pitfalls, and can easily withstand the pressure of the spotlight without any sort of support.

Artists like Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt were obvious standouts from the beginning of the group’s career. Take a bunch of middle-class kids with a passion for hip-hop, a mac computer, and some pure talent, and you’ve got yourself one of the most sickly artistic rap groups the game has ever seen. There’s something creatively beautiful about the story of Frank Ocean and the Odd Future group.
