The tragic passing of his friend Mac Miller in September 2018 had a profound effect on Thundercat and the making of “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.” “This album is about love, loss, life and the ups and downs that come with that,” Bruner says about “It Is What It Is”. That record completed his transition from virtuoso bassist to bonafide star and cemented his reputation as a unique voice that transcends genre. “It Is What It Is” follows his game-changing third album “Drunk” (2017). “It Is What It Is” has been nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Progressive R&B Category and with Flying Lotus also receiving a nomination in the Producer of the Year (Non-Classical). The album, produced by Flying Lotus and Thundercat, features musical contributions from Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole and Zack Fox. Thundercat has released his new album “It Is What It Is” on Brainfeeder Records. GRAMMYs 2021 Winner - Best Progressive R&B Album
