Mysterious rapper(s), Captain Murphy dropped the Duality mixtape today, as promised. The matter of Captain Murphy’s identity is still in question. While we probably won’t know for sure until The Captain wants us to, we’ve heard rumors that he’s Tyler The Creator, Flying Lotus, Left-Brain, or Earl Sweatshirt, or even any mixture of the above. Here at Extra Lovely, we are pretty certain this is Flying Lotus rhyming, which is kinda wild.

C O S M I C | C O M P O S I T I O N S will be putting together a Series of Compilations dedicated to some of the pioneers of the Avant-Garde Jazz Movement.
The majority of this compilation was produced by beatmakers who strictly sampled Pharoah Sanders.
We feel there is huge similarity’s between the Avant-Garde/Free Jazz movement of the 50’s & 60’s & the beat movement of Today. As both movements attempted to break down, extend & alter the conventions of their original genres (Jazz & Hip Hop) & were never afraid to experiment & improvise to create something that wasn’t accepted commercially at the time.
