Okonma's music is primarily rooted in alternative hip hop, jazz rap, R&B, and neo soul, while his earlier music was considered horrorcore.
Over the years, his style of production has progressed from gritty and dark in early projects to a jazzy and soulful approach with the albums Cherry Bomb, Flower Boy, and Igor.
His lyrical themes have also evolved from horrorcore-esque subjects to views on love, sexuality, existence and nostalgia.
 
Okonma is known as the leader of Odd Future, and the group as a whole has been compared to the influential hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan.
Since the beginning of his career, Okonma has largely self-produced songs for his projects and other Odd Future members.
Musically, he has been heavily influenced by N.E.R.D and The Neptunes member Pharrell Williams.
Williams' debut solo album, In My Mind, had a substantial impact on Okonma, inspiring him to co-found the Odd Future collective.
He has also cited N.E.R.D's debut album In Search of... as an impactful album for him.
He also has been influenced by rapper Eminem and has stated Eminem's album Relapse as his favorite album.

Artists who have cited Okonma as an influence include Billie Eilish and Brockhampton member Kevin Abstract.
