Flying Lotus feat. Earl Sweatshirt - Between Friends


Having dropped sometime in late July, 'Between Friends' might be old news for some. However we're giving it a follow up post, since we don't really believe that this excellent collab got all the attention it deserved.
'Between Friends' is Flying Lotus' contribution to the weekly Adult Swim Singles Series and features the back and forth between Earl Sweatshirt and a mysterious character named Captain Murphy.
Naturally, with Earl on the mic, the level of wordplay and lyrical delivery is phenomenal, just as we've come to expect from the ever-maturing Odd Future member.  Combine that with Lotus' inspired beat work, and you've got a track with all the best introspection and imagery of Odd Future's Earl, accompanied by one of the finest and most complex beats we've ever heard.
For all you Hip-Hop fans, this really is worth checking out and since it's a FREE download here, it's an instant library addition. Hard to believe this didn't get more attention in the first place. Something tells us, FlyLo's  full-length release, Until the Quiet Comes, due October 2nd, is gonna be one hell of an album. WANT MORE? Then follow The HotBox on Facebook and Twitter
