Fans of Flying Lotus raps rejoice. The super producer announced that his rap pseudonym is making a grand return.
What Is Flying Lotus Doing?
Flying Lotus, under his alter ego Captain Murphy, has released his new single “Mudslide” on all DSPS. The song comes as a soundtrack piece for the new action martial-arts thriller, The Furious.
The film, helmed by director Kenji Tanigaki (Rurouni Kenshin) has a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. The film follows a winding plot where the daughter of Wang Wei (Xie Miao) is kidnapped by a criminal network. After he receives no help from the corrupt police, Wei sets out on a rampage to find her himself. His only ally is Navin (Joe Taslim) – a relentless journalist whose wife has mysteriously disappeared. Fueled by a furious vengeance, the unlikely duo ruthlessly fights against the kidnappers in this explosive martial arts thrill ride.
Fly Lo will also perform at various Blue Note Jazz Clubs in Los Angeles and New York early this July. Tickets are on sale for New York here and Los Angeles here.
A Captain Murphy, Flying Lotus has carved out a lane on the mic. Although his alias doesn’t appear often, his 2012 Captain Murphy mixtape, Duality, is still highly regarded. He also rapped a song for GTA V as part of his FlyLoFM radio station.
