Flying Lotus confirms Anderson .Paak collaboration

The two artists will release the first fruits of the joint labour soon

Flying Lotus has confirmed that he is working on new music with Anderson .Paak, with the producer saying that their first song together will arrive ‘soon’.

The electronic producer already appears to have a busy 2017 ahead of him, with his debut feature-length film Kuso set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next week. FlyLo will also play a high-profile slot at Field Day festival in London in June.

News of the collaboration only emerged after Twitter user Dylan Mawby tagged both Flying Lotus and .Paak in a tweet, where he contemplated the notion of the two artists working together. “The world needs an and track. Maybe throw a little Captain Murphy [FlyLo’s other moniker] on there for good measure,” he wrote.
