production duo from

Syd, while Vritra is a member of his own Atlanta hip hop collective, NRK (Nobody Really Knows).[2]
History
The Super 3 was a production trio created by
Matt Martians, which consisted of himself and fictional members Betty Vasolean and Yoshi Jankins, Jr., inspired by the virtual band
Gorillaz. Publishing his beats through
Myspace, Martians was eventually discovered by
Tyler, the Creator and invited to join the
Odd Future collective, alongside
Casey Veggies,
Hodgy and Left Brain, where he produced the songs "Laxin", "Bubble Gum", "Money Talk" and "Our Story" for their debut mixtape, The Odd Future Tape, released on November 15, 2008.
Later that year, Martians invited his friend and fellow
Atlanta producer
Pyramid Vritra to come to Los Angeles and join Odd Future as well. Together with short-term member
brandUn DeShay, they released The Super D3Shay EP on April 29, 2009.
The duo eventually changed their name to the Jet Age of Tomorrow, releasing their debut EP Can I Hold Your Hand?, and both their first and second albums, Voyager and Journey to the 5th Echelon, in 2010.
A music video for the second album's single "Wonderland", was released on February 4, 2011.[3]
