Yo this is really obviously Tyler and Earl, no?

The voice effects calm down enough during most tracks to identify both.
The rhyme patterns, typical approach and vocab choices AND flow of both, no?
Little obvious to me.

What's the deal, Tyler don't want to know he's a rap nerd like the rest of us?

Earl doesn't seem to mind if we know.

This shit's dope btw if you didn't D/L it yet.

Big ups to my man above seperating tracks and shit.

Just realized from listening to this that Captain Murphy is a character from Sealab 2020. Interesting piece of trivia: Capt. Murphy is played by John Stephenson, an accomplished voice actor who is 89 years old, has never given any interviews and is rarely seen in public at all, though he's been credited with upwards of 200 roles so far in his career.

Judging by the samples, it's more likely they're referring to Sealab 2021's Captain Murphy, voiced by (the late) Harry Goz. Especially given the Adult Swim / Brainfeeder / Flying Lotus connection. That's a good parallel as well though.

"Many fans and critics felt that the show fell into a sharp decline following the death of Harry Goz (the voice of Captain Murphy) during Season 3."

Word, clearly I was thinking of 2021, 2020 being the original series.
Don't forget OF has that connection to Adult Swim too.
Oddly enough, Murphy tweeted "Never trust a toon" earlier today (before my post).

"Captain Murphy is the obtuse Quasimoto-like alias of a visual-loving and vision quest-searching LA producer. Said producer may or may not have had a Stones Throw internship at one point and may rep the Brainfeeder imprint like a badge." - Jeff Weiss, recent earl sweatshirt interviewer

From a really good listen to this mixtape I've figured this to be a group

Captain Murphy: Tyler the Creator and Flying Lotus

At the end of one of the tracks I thought I heard Tyler clearly saying "two crews Odd and Brainfeeder", surprised noone else heard this but I'm sure I did.

Also anyone who's heard enough Tyler songs can tell from vocal tone when the effects go off the verses to the subject matter thats its mostly Tyler vocals, surprised this is even debatable.

Only 2 guest rappers I made out was Earl on one track somewhere in the middle and Vince Staples near the end.

I'm surprised this mixtape has more then one producer its really cohesive, but just hearing lyrics alone I feel this is at least 85% Tyler on the raps.

pretty sure Lee Bannon is on some of this production wise. There's a lot of sounds that he has been using for a minute and a few things he has recently been doing on here. The last track has that little baby thing that Timbo used on that aaliyah song, Bannon has been using that on like the last 6 songs i've heard from him recently on random artist tapes. Style wise it makes sense that he at least had his hand in a few of the beats on here. Just my theory.

He/they is/are performing tonight in LA, so the identity question may soon be resolved.
