Song for the Dead
Thundercat Lyrics
Close your eyes
Rest your head
You are dead
We're resolved
Travel safe
Star express
Earth to Earth
Surf the cosmos
Smell the space dust

He is part of this 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).

How refreshing is this Brainfeeder movement right now!!!! I mean the music quality is just OFF THE CHARTS GOOD! Thundercat is pushing the genre...and Im not even quite sure what the genre is! These guys are the unsung heroes of Kendrick's album. This jazz, funk, electronic blend gives nods to some of the greats...George Duke, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Nujabes! I mean that song on Colbert with Thundercat playing bass didn't even get a name...or released. THIS IS HOW GOOD THIS MOVEMENT IS!

I’m enjoying every moment of this movement of envelope pushers!

+William Middleton it was all really riding of the back of the j Dilla era of beat production which inspired aqua crunk in scotland - rustie , hudmo , heralds of change , luckyme records , etc . Then we had brainfeeder artists rocking those styles and basically melting genres together in a big pot.
Ras G , Thundercat, SamIyam , Flying Lotus, dorian concept , Gaslamp killer etc .
