He also finally had an orange M3 built for himself that looked. Es el caso de Nostalgia, ULTRA de Frank Ocean. Hes known for his debut mixtape, nostalgia, ULTRA, and the subsequent albums channel ORANGE and Blonde. The BMWs he got were the E30 M3, E90 M3 (which he crashed on one occasion), and an F10 M5. Frank Ocean is a singer-songwriter and member of the hip-hop collective Odd Future. ![]() Still, if he becomes a superstar then there’s a few songs from this mixtape that long-time fans will doubtless be citing as classics for years to come for that reason alone, it’s worth your attention. Frank Ocean’s later cars (BMWs) After the success of his mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra, and first studio album Channel Orange Frank Ocean could finally afford to buy some cool rides for himself. Nostalgia, Ultra is more a mixtape than an album, and with this comes a level of natural inconsistency – though the fact that you can imagine Def Jam pulling many of its more lasting moments certainly vindicates Ocean’s decision to self-release it.

I found myself completely and utterly enthralled with this artist’s ability to. I got on the bus to Woodward and watched my life slow down as I hit play, listened to his music for the first time. A songwriter who’s penned material for John Legend, Justin Bieber and more, he signed to Island Def Jam around a year ago and proceeded to sit on the shelf (sound familiar?). In 2011, shortly after Frank dropped NOSTALGIA,ultra on the Odd Future blog, I downloaded it just before going to sleep. You may already know the story with Frank Ocean. ![]()
