Early Saturday morning—very early Saturday morning—devoted music fans received about 45 minutes' notice that a new episode of Frank Ocean's Beats 1 show blonded RADIO was on the way.
Notice that the program even exists had only come a few minutes prior to that, when a trailer for the episode, featuring a snippet of a new Ocean song, "Biking," featuring Jay Z and Tyler, the Creator, was released.
But sure enough, the program is in fact airing right now. You can check it out here.
It seems a certainty that "Biking" in its entirety will be played on the show. In the program's previous episode, aired last month, Ocean's song "Chanel" was played on a continuous loop for about an hour. This time, true to form, "Biking" was played a bunch of times in a row at the end of the program. Hear it here.
