Kaytraminé is a soundtrack for the young, dumb, and full of cum, a record produced by the kind of goofball who gets a kick out of being princess-carried by a woman bodybuilder and rapped by a guy whose debut LP pictured him on the toilet with his pants around his ankles.

And just last week, KAYTRANADA released a loose instrumental on TikTok (his first track of the year) to help the platform launch a Black History Month initiative.

The 15-track sees him showcasing the depth and variety of his beat making, production and compositional skills.

Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.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.
