A day after he joined Bon Iver for a surprise performance in NYC courtesy of Vitamin Water and The Fader's Uncapped series (more on that later today!), Frank Ocean has a new rap-heavy track, "Blue Whale." Ocean nimbly rhymes over beats as smooth as those found in his R&B songs, name-checking Earl (Sweatshirt,
