KAYTRANADA has the secret recipe for crafting great tracks.

Haitian-born producer KAYTRANADA has firmly established himself at this point in his career. Ever since bursting onto the scene back in 2016 with his debut album, 99.9%, his trajectory has only gone up from there. What helped immediately stand out to listeners was how willing he was to produce for different genres. Over time, KAYTRANADA has gotten better with each release. He has become an expert in basically every sound he has dabbled in. From house, hip-hop, dance, funk, R&B, and electronic, he can do it all.

This year was the first time he came out with a collaboration project. For many, it went over pretty well. KAYTRANADA and the always-colorful Aminé routinely brought out the best in each other. KAYTRAMINÉ featured the infectious "4EVA" with Pharrell Williams. It was an immediate summer hit. Additionally, tracks like "Master P" with Big Sean, and "EYE" with Snoop Dogg were solid as well.

Listen To Lover/Friend By KAYTRANADA

To build on an already successful 2023, KAY is now back with a four-track EP. Lover/Friend technically features two songs, but the instrumentals are included too. The first cut, "Lover/Friend" has shimmering vocals from Rochelle Jordan. Track two, "Stuntin" features some lowkey rapping from Channel Tres. Both have a mellow feel that KAY has essentially trademarked at this point. Give them a spin above.
