History

2011–12: Early career

Since the formation of the group MellowHype, which consisted of rapper Hodgy Beats and producer Left Brain, they frequently collaborated with fellow Odd Future member Domo Genesis. Together they officially formed the sub-group of Odd Future, MellowHigh in 2011. The songs "Bitches", "Lean", "Rella", and "Hcapd" from The OF Tape Vol. 2 feature MellowHigh.[1] In April 2012 the group released their first two official songs, "Timbs" produced by Lex Luger and "Go". Along with the song's releases, they announced that they would be working on a collaboration project together.[2] [3]

2013–14: MellowHigh

On April 20, 2013, MellowHigh released their first single and music video entitled "Troublesome 2013".[4] On August 24, 2013, it was revealed their debut album by the group MellowHigh will be released on October 31, 2013.[5] The group also released promotional vlogs leading up to the release, showing footage of them on the Odd Future European tour 2013 and recording the project. Over the following months they periodically released songs via SoundCloud. On October 10, 2013, the music video for "Yu" was released.[6] It was revealed MellowHigh will contain guest appearances by Tyler, The Creator, Curren$y, Smoke DZA, and Earl Sweatshirt among others.[7] Upon the release, the album debuted at number 89 on the US Billboard 200.[8]

MellowHigh did not release any material in 2014, leading people to believe MellowHigh disbanded.

2015–present: MellowHype disbandment

On January 18, 2015, Hodgy Beats confirmed that MellowHype disbanded. He also added that he and Left Brain will continue to work with Domo Genesis as MellowHigh.
