New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, jazz virtuoso Stephen Bruner aka Thundercat releases "Dragonball Durag", the second single from It Is What It Is, out April 3rd on Brainfeeder. The new track, produced by Thunder and Flying Lotus, encapsulates his love of humour in music and his passion for the cult Japanese animé Dragon Ball Z.

"I have a Dragon Ball tattoo... it runs everything. There is a saying that Dragon Ball is life," Bruner explains. As for the durag: "There are two types of people in the world, the guy with the durag and the guy who doesn't know what a durag is. The durag is a superpower, to turn your swag on... it does something, it changes you. If you have one in the wardrobe, think about wearing it tonight, and it may Pop off because you never know what's going to happen."

Comedy is an integral part of Thundercat's personality. "If you can't laugh at this stuff you might as well not be here," he muses. He seems to be magnetically drawn to comedians from Zack FOX (with whom he collaborates) to Dave Chappelle, Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress, whom he counts as friends. However, the humour always balances out with a darker, melancholy edge.
"Dragonball Durag" marks the second single from Thundercat's forthcoming album It Is What It Is, out on April 3, 2020 via Brainfeeder Records. It follows hot on the heels of previous single "Black Qualls" which featured Steve Lacy (The Internet) and Funk icon Steve Arrington (Slave). The album, produced by Flying Lotus and Thundercat, also features musical contributions from Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole, and Zack Fox.
"This album is about love, loss, life and the ups and downs that come with that," Bruner says about It Is What It Is. "It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, but at different points in life you come across places that you don't necessarily understand... some things just aren't meant to be understood."
