Flying Lotus has shared the video for his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar "Never Catch Me" off his forthcoming album You're Dead!. The Hiro Murai-directed clip takes place during a funeral for a young girl and boy.
The two children rise from the dead in their caskets and begin dancing their way out of the church. They make their way through a game of jump rope and into the hearse. They drive off with other kids chasing them. It ends with the little boy gleefully sitting his head out the window of the vehicle, enjoying the wind on his face.
Flying Lotus' You're Dead! is due out October 7 and features appearances by Snoop Dogg, Thundercat, and Lamar.
On working with Lamar, he told Rolling Stone they the two of them work really well together.
"Kendrick and me, man, we had a special vibe between our chemistry," he told them. "We've been trying to link up for years - I really felt sh*tty when I wasn't on Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, to be honest. I really wanted to be on that album. But we really only got to know each other after it. He talked about me contributing to his new album, and I was down with that. I sent him a bunch of stuff, and then I asked if he'd do something for my album, and he was super into the concept of my record and really wanted to be part of it. I was just flattered.
"So yeah, it just came about sort of naturally: He came through the crib and recorded it and it was great. The funny part is, though, that he wanted to keep that sh*t for his album. When I first sent him the track, he was trying to convince me to give it to him. Like, "Nah, man, I need that!"
