During this period, Odd Future gained rapid popularity and Okonma faced controversy over his lyrics, most notably with the song Yonkers. His debut studio album Goblin (2011) brought him mainstream exposure, which was aided by the popularity of the single " Yonkers" and its accompanying music video. Okonma self-released his debut mixtape Bastard in 2009 and rapidly gained attention among the online music press for his horrorcore-influenced sound and violent, transgressive lyrical content. Okonma is considered one of the most influential and greatest Hip-Hop music artists of all time. Okonma has won two Grammy Awards, three BET Hip Hop Awards, a BRIT Award, and a MTV Video Music Award.
