Sorry, That New Odd Future Song Is Fake
In August, several members of the L.A. rap collective Odd Future came together at Earl Sweatshirt's Doris anniversary show, which sparked home among fans for an Odd Future reunion. Then on September 22, a mysterious new song called "New Future Era" showed up on Spotify, causing a lot of excitement before it was exposed as what it was: a lie.
Fake Music Is a Growing Problem
The strangest fact about this "new" song is that it's just a bunch of random stuff thrown together. It's 545 seconds long and has some drums and the word "Embarrassing" repeating over and over in different pitches. There are no vocals from Earl, Syd, or Tyler, the Creator, not even fake AI ones, and it reminds fans of the type of trolling Odd Future would have done when they were younger. People creating fake music by A-list artists has been a growing problem over the last few years. Sure, they use an alias, like a 2018 album supposedly from SZA that showed up under "Sister Solana," but it's still an issue. It happened to Beyoncé, too.
