  • Kendrick Lamar's 'good kid m.A.A.d city' Documentary Coming To Museum Of Contemporary Arts in Los Angeles

    Kendrick Lamar's instant classic major label debut good kid m.A.A.d city has been lauded for its vivid imagery and impeccable storytelling. If you look carefully at the cover of the album, it reads, "good kid M.A.A.d city, a short film by Kendrick Lamar." Now those scenes will come to life in a new documentary. Titled m.A.A.d, the film premiered a few months back at Sundance Film Festival and is now headed for screenings on the West Coast. The 14-minute documentary, directed by Kahlil Joseph and scored by Flying Lotus, will be available for fans to view at the Museum of Contemporary Art's MOCA Grande Avenue in Los Angeles from March 21 through July 27, 2015.

  • Flying Lotus Shares Doom Collaboration 'Masquatch' From 'Grand Theft Auto V' [LISTEN]

    Just yesterday, experimental hip-hop producer Flying Lotus shared a new track from the upcoming re-release of Grand Theft Auto V called "Medication Meditation," featuring Krayzie Bone. Today, FlyLo is back with "Masquatch," another weird yet incredible song from the soundtrack, featuring underground hip-hop visionary DOOM (a.k.a. MF DOOM, a.k.a. Viktor Vaughn, a.k.a. King Geedorah). The track's extremely brief running time (it comes it under two minutes) is reminiscent of DOOM's classic Madlib collaboration Madvillain, and its abstract, hookless production wouldn't sound out of place on their Madvillainy LP.

  • Flying Lotus Shares New Song 'Medication Meditation' Featuring Krayzie Bone from 'Grand Theft Auto V' [LISTEN]

    Yesterday, Nov. 18, saw the re-release of "Grand Theft Auto V" for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and among its many new features are 162 new songs across its 17 fictional radio stations. Today, experimental hip-hop producer Flying Lotus shared one of his contributions to the game's new soundtrack, a moody and intense track titled "Medication Meditation" featuring Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, which you can check out below but the artwork above.The track is a stark difference from FlyLo's most recent album "You're Dead!" Instead of being highly complex and jazz-inflected, this is much more traditionally hip-hop, in no small part due to Krayzie Bone's wildly energetic verses. Being a Flying Lotus track, however, it still does not sound anything like your typical 2014 hip-hop single.
