Kaytranada

Timeless

    Kaytranada makes a triumphant return, five years after "Bubba" and following production duties for a who's who of global celebrity rap and RnB talent including Anderson.Paak, Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Gibbs and Alicia Keys amongst many more.

    "Timeless", like much of his output, plays like a mixtape, skirting around styles and flavours with tons of bravado and buckets of style. From the smooth RnB of opener "Spit It Out", through the tongue-in-cheek masculinity of "Call U Up" and onto the rousing, party-starting boom-bap of "Weird", the Haitian-Canadian producer doesn't hold any punches asserting himself in 2024. 

    Seemingly able to effortlessly merge electronic elements with live sounding funk jams, the producer's beats crunch, thud and spit in all the right places; with a modern sheen yet sounding natural with it. Given the wide range of vocal talent, it's testiment to Kaytranada's palette and production that the album retains a cohesive core throughout. It's classic in the classic sense - an album to be played from start to finish, not just three big hits segued into a load of filler. Perfect for the car or jeep, or more intimate moments indoors, "Timeless" is another winner from the much adored producer.

      Lavendar (Night Fall Remix) Feat. Kaytranada And Snoop Dogg

        In October 2016, Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to preview a new song that includes a sample of BADBADNOTGOOD's "Lavender" featuring their fellow Canadian beatsmith, Kaytranada. The internet pounced on the track that addresses the police killings of black men in the United States, with coverage from Fader and Fact Magazine to Complex, XXL Mag and Pitchfork and more. Now Snoop Dogg's long-awaited Nightfall Remix is being released on BADBADNOTGOOD's LA based label Innovative Leisure. The satirical video for the track drew the ire of US President Donald Trump, who complained on twitter about Snoop Dogg’s “failing career”, and threatened him with jail time.

        Millie says: Possibly the best combination of artists on this 12" release, Badbad, Snoopy and Kaytranada. The dream team. Lavender was one of my favourite songs off the IV album so this is a clear winner, that baseline I could listen to for days, politically charged and brilliant lyrically - this is a good un'!

        Kaytranada presents his highly anticipated debut album ‘99.9%’ via XL Recordings. The album finds the Haitian born, Montreal raised producer delivering on the promise of his early self-released EPs and remixes.

        Since the age of fourteen, when he first began to DJ and when his brother introduced him to music production software, his output has been relentless. He explains, “after he showed me the basics, from that day on I couldn’t stop making beats,” pumping out a handful of tracks per day for the next couple of years.

        Single releases like ‘Drive Me Crazy’ with Vic Mensa and ‘Leave Me Alone’ with Shay Lia soon spread his name like wildfire. With that release Kaytranada cemented his reputation and his sound; an undeniable swing of the drums comparable to Dilla’s, a signature soulful touch in the melodies and a healthy dose of funky basslines.

        Spread across a wide range of genres including house, bass, hip hop and R&B, '99.9% continues that tradition. The album features a wealth of guest talent, including acclaimed percussionist / producer Karriem Riggins, rising Toronto vocalist River Tiber, UKG favourite Craig David, AlunaGeorge, Badbadnotgood, Anderson .Paak, Little Dragon and many more.

        Matt says: Following ley-lines laid by Anderson.Pak and Kendrick Lamar, Kaytra takes musical genres and flips them on their head - taking the gangstas out of hip-hop and adding the raving club-goer to pop music. The result is an album both welcoming and challenging in equal measure.
