WATCH: Tyler, The Creator and BADBADNOTGOOD perform “Seven”, “Fish”

“i Used To Watch George Benson Jam Sessions, Always Wanting To Do That On Keys, But Never Knew Musicians…..Finally Fucking Did It So Stoked” – @fucktyler

More often than not Tyler, The Creator’s actual musicianship is masked by his homophobic slurs, rediculous stage antics and gravitation towards not “giving a fuck”. He’s shed some light on his passion for jazz and improvisation in interviews such as this one with Nardwuar but rarely are we able to see a glimpse of the musician that is Tyler, The Creator. To our knowledge these are the only two videos that exists of the OFWGKTA ring-leader performing with a live band and I was pleasantly surprised. Tyler’s track “Seven” off his first mixtape Bastard premiered a few days ago while “Fish” off his latest release Goblin dropped tonight. BADBADNOTGOOD are an experimental jazz-influenced trip from Toronto who have made some noise this past year for their Goblin Sessions as well as a fantastic cover of A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric Relaxation” and more. There is obvious chemistry between BBNG and Tyler and it’ll be very interesting to see if anything comes of this collaboration.
