This new album, produced jointly by Flying Lotus and Thundercat, brings together contributions from handpicked guests: Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy from The Internet, Steve Arrington from Slave, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole, and Zack Fox. “It Is What It Is” follows “Drunk,” released in 2017, a real turning point for Thundercat. This new album completes Thundercat's transformation, from his status as a recognized bass virtuoso to an authentic star with a unique and singular voice, exploding the boundaries of musical genres. Thundercat is at the "creative epicenter" of one of the most influential hip-hop albums of the 21st century, Kendrick Lamar's “To Pimp A Butterfly,” for which he won a Grammy for his participation in the track ‘These Walls’. In 2018, Thundercat and Flying Lotus composed the soundtrack for the series Atlanta, created and written by Childish Gambino and honored with a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award. The turbulent groove of the new album fully represents Thundercat's music, which is a major influence on the entire global hip hop/soul scene.
