With his fourth LP several months behind him, Flying Lotus has some time for reflection. FlyLo recently sat down with OkayPlayer’s OkayAfrica for what turned out to be a fairly life-altering conversation. Teaming up with African Ancestry, OkayAfrica helps FlyLo get a DNA test to learn that his ancestors belonged to the Tikar people of Cameroon.
