Thundercat has shared the next single from his forthcoming LP It Is What It Is. The new track is called “Dragonball Durag.” Give it a listen below.
“I have a Dragon Ball tattoo…. It runs everything. There is a saying that Dragon Ball is life,” Thundercat said in a press release. “There are two types of people in the world, the guy with the durag and the guy who doesn’t know what a durag is. The durag is a superpower, to turn your swag on…. It does something, it changes you. If you have one in the wardrobe, think about wearing it tonight, and it may pop off because you never know what’s going to happen.”
It Is What It Is follows Thundercat’s 2017 LP Drunk. The new album arrives April 3 (via Brainfeeder). Last month, Thundercat shared lead single “Black Qualls,” which features Steve Lacy and Steve Arrington.
The new record is produced by Thundercat and frequent collaborator Flying Lotus. In addition to Lacy and Arrington, the record features contributions from Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Ty Dolla $ign, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole, and comedian/rapper Zack Fox.
