Beginning with his second album Wolf (2013), Okonma began moving away from his stylistic horrorcore towards a more alternative hip hop sound.
His debut studio album Goblin (2011), brought him mainstream exposure aided by the popularity of the single ' Yonkers' and its accompanying music video during this period Odd Future gained rapid popularity and Okonma faced controversy over his lyrics. Okonma self-released his debut mixtape Bastard in 2009 and rapidly gained attention among the online music press for his horrorcore-influenced sound and violent, transgressive lyrical content. He is one of the founding members of the music collective Odd Future. Tyler Gregory Okonma (born March 6, 1991), professionally known as Tyler, the Creator, is an American rapper and record producer.
