Holy.sh-t!!! Crazy….
[Audio] 64 Unreleased Songs from Frank Ocean of Odd Future (OFWGKTA)
I can’t vouch for how legit or accurate this is but in the midst of the frenzy that is all things Odd Future (OFWGKTA), I’d be extremely remiss if I didn’t share this from the inbox last night:
“You want some unreleased tunes from the wolf with an amazing voice? Well we’re here to supply. Frank Ocean is a stage name, and our guy Frank previously went by the pseudonym Lonny Breaux. The artist formerly known as Lonny Breaux has been writing songs and making music for a while now, and reportedly has collaborated with the likes of Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, and more.
The homie @IAMKRIS24 over at Marble Stoop went ahead and gathered up all the Lonny Breaux tracks he could get his hands on, along with some stuff Mr. Ocean released prior to and after his breakout album Nostalgia, ULTRA and put together The Lonny Breaux Collection. Such a thing is not in anyway an official release from Frank Ocean, however it is a ton of music you probably haven’t heard from the persistently mysterious Frank Ocean. It’s also worth mentioning that these tracks include production from several big producers; The Runners, J.R. Rotem, and Midi Mafia.”

[Event] TONIGHT in Toronto: The Truth at Toika Lounge
New event in support of the Toronto brand management company, The Truth. Here’s the skinny:
“I wanted to have the type of night where the DJs could play classics from Tribe/Outkast/Souls of Mischief but also play grimier club songs from Wayne, Dipset, Clipse, Jay, Kanye. Should be a lot of good people and good music.”
I’ll probably be there for a hot second. Drop a comment if you are too.
