“I do believe that hip-hop can be the new jazz, and I’m helping create that”, Bruner said in an interview to Bass Player, in 2008.
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).

The "turbo tron" is a playful and affectionate nickname he gives to his bass guitar that is so central to his artistry. The lyrics express a level of dependency on the bass guitar, with Thundercat acknowledging that he always comes back to it and reassuring the "turbo tron" that it "rocks his world."
There is a sense of separation anxiety in the lyrics as well, with Thundercat imploring the "turbo tron" not to ever leave him or wonder where he is going.
