Tyler, The Creator, has suggested that his groundbreaking hip-hop collective Odd Future may have split up.
In a series of tweets Tyler seemed to imply that the group were "no more" but that he would always remember the impact of OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). As ever with Tyler it's difficult to know quite how seriously to take any statement. Given that both he and Earl Sweatshirt have both recently released critically acclaimed albums, it seems that we may have to wait a little before we see the full collective on stage again.

As well as Tyler and Earl, other members of the collective have gone on to differing degrees of stardom. Frank Ocean's currently untitled followup to Channel Orange, set for release in July and recorded at Abbey Road studios in London is one of the most eagerly anticipated albums of the year. Syd Tha Kyd and Matt Martians perform under the Google unfriendly alias 'The Internet' while Hodgy Beats and Left Brain have also continued to put out material.
Tyler The Creator recently released his album Cherry Bomb, featuring guest appearances by Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
