Captain Murphy first appeared during the summer of 2012 on the Flying Lotus song produced "Between Friends" for the 2012 Adult Swim Singles Program. The song also features Earl Sweatshirt trading verses from Odd Future with Murphy. Speculation begins to emerge that Murphy is Tyler, the Creator, the Earl Sweatshirt, the Flying Lotus, or a combination of the three due to the frequent shift in the vocals. Between July and September 2012, Murphy released several music videos on YouTube featuring animations by lilfuchs. For several months, Captain Murphy began hinting at his debut project Duality, scheduled for release in November 2012.
