After last night’s unexpected album drop, HYPETRAK Magazine‘s featured guest, Flying Lotus, went onto Twitter to share his story on some of the inspirations behind Kendrick Lamar’s new album, To Pimp a Butterfly. Flylo produced the opening track which certainly set the tone for album. See what he had to say below:

I was really surprised how he gave zero fucks about the media circus surrounding the tour. Was real low key trying to create, the whole time

I played him a folder of beats that I was keeping close for my next @xCaptainMurphyx project. Gave him all the beats like fuxk it.

Later that night he told me he had the concept for the album.
