It will be very interesting to see what Aminé and KAYTRANADA do this Friday (May 19). The two artists will be presenting KAYTRAMINÉ, a 12-song album that will feature Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, Freddie Gibbs, Amaarae, and Pharrell Williams, the last of which opened the album with the lead single, “4EVA.” The duo Aminé and KAYTRANADA also released a second song that they have titled “Rebuke.” The album is centered around the topic of moving on from a relationship, and it essentially serves as a guide to teenagers.
The project will be Aminé’s latest piece of work since his 2021 mixtape TWOPOINTFIVE, which was released in the summer of that year. As for his sophomore studio album, Limbo, which came to be released in 2020, he received contributions from the likes of slowthai, Young Thug, Summer Walker, Vince Staples, and JID.
While the album is still a top-notch record, it’s been four years since KAYTRANADA released BUBBA, a genre-bending album that featured collaborations from SiR, Kali Uchis, Tinashe, Masego, GoldLink, Estelle, Durand Bernarr, and more. There have been a number of Canadian producers whose soundscapes have provided soundscapes for many others, such as Ella Mai, Joyce Wrice, Mick Jenkins, D Smoke, IDK, PinkPantheress, Lancey Foux, Kelela, and Don Toliver.
