A week before he drops his highly anticipated fourth album, funk-soul-jazz bass extraordinaire Thundercat will perform at Manchester Academy.

Co-produced by Thundercat, It Is What It Is features cameos from Kamasi Washington, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil B, Childish Gambino and more.

“This album is about love, loss, life and the ups and downs that come with that,” shares the Brainfeeder-signed artist.

The first single, ‘Black Qualls’ features Steve Lacy (The Internet) as well as Funk icon Steve Arrington (Slave), and finds the bass virtuoso at his most energetic and funky.

All the signs are good for a great fourth record, and a great gig at Manchester Academy.
