We haven't heard a lot of music from Thundercat lately, but he did contribute to some of the best projects of the year such as Travis Scott's Astroworld, Mac Miller's Swimming, Kamasi Washington's Heaven And Earth and more. Additionally, he and Flying Lotus helped produce new music for Donald Glover's Atlanta Robbin' Season. As FlyLo's Brainfeeder label gears up to release the 36-track Brainfeeder X compilation project, Thundercat unveils his new song, "King Of The Hill."

Thundercat returns with a new cut for the Brainfeeder X project titled, "King Of The Hill." Thundercat teams up with two frequent collaborators, Flying Lotus, and Canadian jazz trio BADBADNOTGOOD, to bring this track to life. This is the second track that we've heard from Thundercat this year. In April, he delivered his song, "Final Fight" as part of Adult Swim's Singles Program.

Brainfeeder X drops on November 16th.

Quotable Lyrics
Playing with your money and your heart
Just admit you don't know what to do
I've seen a lot of things come and go
Lots of pimps and dimes and hoes
