It Is What It Is [Explicit]

In need of inter-dimensional transcendence? This the song for you! Also a bit of a sonic throwback into the world of Thundercat’s previous album, Drunk, “How I Feel” is optimism and levitation and feel good all wrapped into one soundbite. “A song like “How I Feel"–there’s not a lot of hidden meaning there. It’s not like something really bad happened to me when I was watching Care Bears when I was six and I’m trying to cover it up in a song. But I did watch Care Bears.“ Read more on Last.fm.

Stephen Lee Bruner, stage name Thundercat (b. October 19 1984, Los Angeles, CA, USA) is a virtuoso bassist, composer, producer and singer. Born into a family of musicians, he and his brother were part of legendary thrash punks Suicidal Tendencies (since 16 years of age) - Bruner has collaborated with many, including jams with Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller and Stanley Clarke. “I do believe that hip-hop can be the new jazz, and I’m helping create that”, Bruner said in an interview to Bass Player, in 2008. He is part of the new generation of jazz literate, hip-hop loving instrumentalists who can play beyond traditional limits - a mutant jazz cat - and that’s how 'Thundercat' (a monicker he chose), suits him well (even if it’s purely the result of an unhealthy cartoon addiction dating back to childhood).
