There aren’t a lot of artist collaborations I can think of that would make the Internet poop itself like Flying Lotus and Earl Sweatshirt. So you’ll have to excuse my ridiculously high expectations/keyboard gushery in seeing that this actually happened. It all takes place as part of the Adult Swim Singles Series, which has clearly reached an insane peak. Do I want to write about this song? Sure. But would I rather you just listen and go berserk? Yes.

If you listened to Flying Lotus’ new tune, “Between Friends”, chances are you went nuts over the Earl Sweatshirt collaboration and then wondered, “Who the hell is Captain Murphy?!” Well, some are speculating that it’s an alter-ego of FlyLo, Earl, or even Tyler, the Creator. Honestly, you can hear touches of both Earl and Tyler in the raps both on that track and “Mighty Morphin Foreskin”. But maybe it’s actually FlyLo spitting? Who knows. Either way, it’s pretty dope and that beat is nuts.
Wait: Maybe it’s Earl and Tyler. Oof.
