Flying Lotus Gives First Interview Regarding Captain Murphy Rap Project

Wrapping up 2012, multi-genre producer Flying Lotus came out as the true identity of the mysterious and cleverly named rapper, Captain Murphy. I say clever as Captain Murphy is an (awesome) character from Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim show, Sealab 2021, and as Flying Lotus has produced a significant amount of bumper music for Adult Swim, it makes perfect sense that he would adopt the moniker of one of their best animated offerings.

Some people were disappointed by the reveal as they had assumed that it was Tyler, The Creator or some Odd Future affiliate, but most were thrilled to find that FlyLo was the man behind this phenomenal new project as his first mixtape, Duality, was hands down one of the best of the year and next to no one knew that FlyLo could rap, and this impressively no less.

Until this point, Flying Lotus had not given a single interview regarding his new endeavor, but XXL got the opportunity to sit down with the man to find out that Odd Future, coincidentally enough, was what influenced him to start and why he originally started this project anonymously. You can read the excellent interview with Captain Murphy in its entirety here and check out a couple of our favorite tracks from Duality after the jump.
