Odd Future Records has announced its inaugural signing, inking its first deal with a rapper named Young Ni**a.
“While our original intent was not to sign anyone to the label we simply could not pass up the opportunity to sign somebody this talented. Young Ni**a embodies the DIY ethic and persona of Odd Future along with a commercial appeal that transcends demographics,” said the label’s publicist.
The newest signee will release his debut single at 3 p.m. PST (6 p.m. EST) on OddFuture.com.

UPDATE: As later audio posts indicated, Young Ni**a is actually an alter-ego of Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator. OFWGKTA’s publicist and spokesperson provided a formal press release for the signing on Friday, in what Pitchform.com deems is a “Friday prank.”
You can hear Young Ni**a’s “Come Threw Looking Clean”
, produced by Tyler.
