BRAINFEEDER's bass sage dips into Tokyo's boundless wonders in the first video off DRUNK
Currently crossing the world on a victory lap in support of his new album DRUNK, Thundercat, has a lot to celebrate. Aside from his own critically-adored and reader-chosen effort, the BRAINFEEDER bass man has left a mark on recent projects from Shabazz Palaces, Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar. It's a wonder the man ever has the opportunity for some R&R.
