Flying Lotus Details Involvement in Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly'

The Internet went mad when Kendrick Lamar's album To Pimp a Butterfly was put on iTunes a week early late last night, March 15, either as a PR stunt or a legitimate mistake by Interscope. It has since been taken down, but the discussion about the album and its contents has reached a fever pitch. One of the contributing producers, Flying Lotus, whom the pair collaborated with in the past on "Never Catch Me," took the time last night on Twitter to detail his involvement on the album and sing his praises for K.Dot.

Flying Lotus produced the first song of the album, "Wesley's Theme," featuring George Clinton and Thundercat and created an alternative version of track No. 8, "For Sale," that he said "will probably never come out."

It may not be a surprise to many, but the process of creating this album started a long time ago during the Yeezus tour, according to FlyLo, and he donated a lot of his own work to this project.

Also, when you look at the album credits, Thundercat is everywhere and Flying Lotus echoes that fact.
