<p><a href="/profile/frankocean" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Frank Ocean</a> is one of the music industry&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/jay-z-praises-frank-ocean-for-playing-by-his-own-rules-news.145087.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">most elusive artists</a>, so it&#8217;s always an event when he breaks his silence. Since 2017, Ocean will occasionally share dispatches from his irregular series <em>blonded RADIO</em> on Apple Music 1, sometimes even previewing <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/frank-ocean-debuts-raw-9-minute-track-during-new-blonded-radio-news.145224.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">unreleased material</a>.</p>
<p>Now, Frank Ocean has dropped two new episodes on the platform. In the first episode called &#8220;blonded LSD,&#8221; Frank speaks with Dr. James Fadiman about microdosing. In the second episode, &#8220;blonded ENERGY!,&#8221; Frank talks about about the ancient Chinese practice of Qi Ging with Master Mingtong Gu.</p>

<p>Both episodes include new original music from Ocean. &#8220;blonded LSD&#8221; features a 35-minute soundtrack which underscores the conversation Frank has with Fadiman. In the second episode, more music is presented under the interview, increasing in volume near the end.</p>
<p>Frank&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/frank-ocean-releases-christmas-episode-of-blonded-radio-news.145193.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">last episode of <em>blonded RADIO</em></a> was on Christmas of 2021. The episode featured Ocean talking with Wim &#8220;Iceman&#8221; Hof, a Dutch extreme athlete. The conversation was similar in tone and presentation two Frank&#8217;s talks wit Fadiman and Gu. In an Instagram post, Frank wrote of Hof, &#8220;We spoke for a while about his work, the purpose of grief, and how going into the cold water changed his life. It reminded me of conversations in the studio with players I know. Freewheeling, psychedelic, emotionally charged, intelligent, and generous. I enjoyed listening to him, so in this edit I just let him speak uninterrupted.&#8221;</p>
<p>The new episodes of <em>blonded RADIO</em> come as Frank Ocean&#8217;s groundbreaking album <em>Channel Orange </em>turns ten years old. In Instagram stories, Frank shared new merchandise celebrating the occasion, including a <em>blonded RADIO</em> shirt and a <em>Channel Orange</em> double-sided poster.</p>
