The Story
It Is What It Is follows his game-changing third album Drunk (2017). That record completed his transition from virtuoso bassist to bonafide star and cemented his reputation as a unique voice that transcends genre. āThis album is about love, loss, life and the ups and downs that come with that,ā Bruner says. āItās a bit tongue-in-cheek, but at different points in life you come across places that you donāt necessarily understandā¦ some things just arenāt meant to be understood.ā
The album, produced by Flying Lotus and Thundercat, features musical contributions from Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole and Zack Fox.
