Fly Lo Talks New Music
Just yesterday, Flying Lotus introduced his first single as WOKE, a collective made up of himself, Shabazz Palaces and Thundercat. In a new interview with Pitchfork, he opens up about the collaboration, including how they first came together, Jeremiah Jae’s role in the group, working alongside George Clinton, the possibility of touring and much more.
The WOKE project started about three years ago. I, myself, and some screenwriter friends of mine started writing a script for feature film called WOKE. It was something that we developed for quite a while. Initially, it was going to star Ishmael [Butler] from Shabazz Palaces and Jeremiah Jae. We worked on it for a while, started workshopping, but there’s always the financial issue—I haven’t found anyone who is going to invest in the film. – Flying Lotus
