Frank Ocean Is Going H.A.M.

Christopher Francis Ocean

Frank Ocean is relatively new to the music scene, but has already attracted a great deal of attention from some of the biggest names in the recording industry. Ocean, who is loosely associated with Odd Future, currently only has one mixtape of his own, "nostalgia, Ultra", but has collaborated with some heavy hitters. He has written songs for John Legend and Justin Beiber, but wasn't really brought into the spotlight until this summer after co-writing "I Miss You" which appears on Beyonce's album "4". Ocean then managed to score the biggest feature on Ye and Jay's album "Watch the Throne" which after the first week numbers looks like it could be one of the best selling rap albums of all time. All of this exposure will no doubt do wonders for Ocean's career. Let's hope he will release some mega-hits of his own soon. He has already begun to make a name for himself as a songwriter, and with the release of his new single "Thinking About You", he is showing his amazing vocal range. Some of his best solo tracks include "back", "swim good", and "dreamkilla" although I like just about everything on his mixtape. Ocean used samples from The Eagles and MGMT on "nostalgia, Ultra" , and I can't wait for his EP, "nostalgia, Lite" to drop.  Ocean will one day be the new king of R&B; look for him to be topping the charts in the near future.
