Biking

“Biking” finds Frank, Jay and Tyler working around a bicycle metaphor, each employing it in a different manner. The track works in the “cyclic form” of musical construction, with each of the featured artists drawing on each other’s verses to create unity within the track. The track was announced on April 7, 2017, then later premiered during the third episode of Ocean’s “blonded Radio” show on Beats1.
