Okay, so i have been a little bit lax on the blog game of late. Time passes us by and we wonder where it goes, and if you look behind, more of it has gone. Kind of like this track. I enjoyed it so thoroughly that by the time I looked up it was over… thank god I can play it again.
“Robo Tussin” is the newest one from the spacemaster-general Flying Lotus. Hailing from Winnetka, CA (enjoy the inside joke there fellas) he happens to be eating up all unused credibility in the Los Angeles metro area, due to his prodigious output, stallwart collaborators, and his family name. And no, he’s not the long lost third son of Otis Jackson. His family name actually runs a little deeper than that, well, a lot deeper: sound it out with me here coal-train. That’s right that family name does include one of the greatest ever, but more important for our purposes is the close relationship he has with his aunt Alice Coltrane. Go check the video if you want that info from the source.
If you’re like me though, you’ve already clicked the clip and you’re thinking that you’ve heard his work before; and before you start to rack your brain for it, think of yourself stoned on a couch dreaming of cartoon characters battling for late-night supremacy. You got it: our familialy blessed friend got his start by submitting his music for the bumps in between Adult Swim shows. So not only is he good - i mean it, check the rest of his stuff - he’s already subliminally boom-bapped his way into the heads of you, your little brother, and that cute asian girl you like.
