He is part of the new generation of jazz literate, hip-hop loving instrumentalists who can play beyond traditional limits - a mutant jazz cat - and that’s how 'Thundercat' (a monicker he chose), suits him well (even if it’s purely the result of an unhealthy cartoon addiction dating back to childhood).

Thundercat Lyrics
I'm your biggest fan, but I guess that's just not good enough
Is it 'cause I wear my hair weird or because I like to play Diablo
Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking 'bout
'Cause I really don't wanna have to spell it out
And next time you call me
I'm gon' sit and stare at the screen
Waiting for the call to end
You stuck me in the friend zone
That's that bullshit
I'm gonna play Diablo either way
You can go or you could go
Because I'd rather play Mortal Combat anyway hey
I'm all about my Johnny Cage
If you're not bringing tacos I suggest you start to walk away
Bitch don't kill my vibe
I can tell you kinda got uncomfortable
So let me break it down for you
Don't call me, don't text me, after 2 am
Unless you plan on giving me some
'Cause I got enough friends
I will throw you in the garbage
'Cause you play too many games
I'm better off by myself
Loving you's bad for my health
No one wants to be in the

I needed some lyrics to sing along.
Fraunda kelm bril ponda prost!
This is easily the coolest anyone has ever sounded while declaring they'd take Diablo and Mortal Kombat over a girl.
Boba Fett
Agreed
Collin Aldridge
I'm bisexual and I'd take Mortal Kombat over everyone. Fuck em, magic ninjas are sick.
Black Inventors Showcase
It be like that sometimes
D Armstrong
Basic man shit. Have you ever heard Iceberg Slim preach?

THIS!

I can't stop listening this song. It's funky, it's trippy, it's chill, it's upbeat, it's beautiful, it's really funny, it has an interesting message! Everything is genius! I felt so many emotions from it!
It sounds like if Earth Wind & Fire sang over a Bootsy Collins song! I'm a huge 70s funk fan so I love any throw backs that are done right.
ArrogantBaSStard
Almost. It’s all electronic. Nobody really playing an actual instrument.
Michael Turner
I also love the synths and the soundscapes how the one after the drum fill sounds like a voice.
