Tyler the Creator and Odd Future have a massive industry buzz at the moment. What’s intriguing about it is how quickly this independent hip hop group seemed to go from almost underground obscurity to rippin’ sell out shows and gracing magazine covers.

Christian has been labeled as the scientific “man behind the curtain” responsible for building on the foundation this group established and putting it in overdrive.
