being known as a solo performer, Ocean was a
member of 'Odd Future' - a hip hop collective.

and signed with Def Jam Recordings in 2009. In
2010, Ocean changed his name to 'Christopher
Francis Ocean' and to just 'Frank Ocean' five
years later. In 2011, Ocean released the mixtap Nostalgia,
Ultra.
July 4: Prior to the release of
his debut LP, Ocean posted an open letter on his
blog commenting on his love for another man when
he was 19, and referencing it as his first true
love. The posting became news given the nature of
the post and limited same-sex references in the
hip-hop world that are not offensive. The
relationship was further noted in his song
"Thinkin Bout You." Russell Simmons
said of the posting: "I am profoundly moved
by the courage and honesty of Frank Ocean. Your
decision to go public about your sexual
orientation gives hope and light to so many young
people still living in fear."

Billboard 200 LP chart for 1 week, Digital Albums
