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.
Tyler, The Creator blessed his fans with the official deluxe edition of his sixth studio album last Friday (March 31) with CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale, the official deluxe release of his sixth studio album. In the upgraded version of the album, eight new cuts have been added along with new collaborations from YG, Vince Staples, and A$AP Rocky. Prior to the complete reveal, he previewed the listeners with visuals for the tracks “SORRY NOT SORRY,” “DOGTOOTH,” and “WHARF TALK.”
The IGOR artist on April 3 only added to his ongoing stream of music videos by releasing a new screencast of the song “HEAVEN TO ME.” As Tyler walks around his home studio with just a mic and a flow on his hands during the self-directed performance of the song, fans will be treated to a laid-back performance of the single. Tyler spits some bars on this track over a sample from Monk Higgins’ track “Heaven Only Knows” while he does some spitting.
In June 2022, the original edition of the album CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST was released, and it consisted of 16 tracks along with guest contributions from a number of artists, including 42 Dugg, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ty Dolla $ign, Fana Hues, Brent Faiyaz, Lil Wayne, and Pharrell Williams. In its first week of release, the DJ Drama-hosted Odd Future co-founder’s second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart rose to the top thanks to 169,000 album-equivalent units sold, making it Odd Future’s second No. 1 album overall.
On April 7, Daniel Caesar will be releasing his much-anticipated debut album NEVER ENOUGH to the public. Fans have already had the opportunity to enjoy strong previews, such as the songs produced by Raphael Saadiq and Sir Dylan, “Let Me Go” and “Do You Like Me?.” As a result, the Canadian R&B savant returned today (March 15) to present the music video for the song it is currently featured in. There was recently a new clip released of Daniel Caesar running through a field symbolically never-ending, which was shot by Midman. There is a subtext in the song that croons about the tug-of-war that occurs between two lovers when they try to resolve matters:
Among the artists on Daniel Caesar’s last full-length release was 2019’s Case Study 01, which contained ten songs that included contributions from artists like Brandy, Jacob Collier, Pharrell Williams, and John Mayer. In 2017, he made landfall with his album Freudian, which had a number of major hits including “Best Part” with H.E.R. and “Get You” with Kali Uchis. He has also been involved in some of the most recent collaborations that have emerged in the music industry, including “careless” with FKA twigs, “Peaches” with Justin Bieber alongside Giveon and “Invincible” with Omar Apollo.
The “Japanese Denim” singer Daniel Caesar seems to have already hinted at what fans can expect from his next chapter in his career in a previous Instagram post, which hinted at the direction his career is headed. “Hi there, world. In spite of the fact that I was born a few minutes ago, I am already learning,” he claimed. “We are not supposed to consider this a new beginning, but just a long way from where we were before. I see a lot of myself in almost all of you, and I find it very reassuring. I look in the mirror. As there are so many things to discuss, you will be surprised to learn how close we are. For the time being, let us simply refer to this as the beginning.”
The record label and management outlet behind the LVRN empire, Love Renaissance, has recently announced the release of the second installment of their series, Home For The Holidays, which is scheduled to be released in Mid-November. With the remix comp this time around, 11 songs were included. Contributions were provided by such names as Alex Vaughn, dvsn, Westside Boogie, DRAM, OMB Bloodbath, Baby Tate, and more.
Summer Walker teamed up with Slimwav to release a new visual from the aforementioned project yesterday, which featured Summer Walker‘s version of Eartha Kitt’s ’50s Christmas classic “Santa Baby.” The short offering release is the work of Lisa McCall and Slimwav, bringing with it the modern edge to Eartha Kitt’s ’50s Christmas classic which will instantly appeal to music fans of all ages:
During the accompanying clip for “Santa Baby,” Summer Walker is pictured singing and recording, surrounded by beautifully decorated Christmas trees, in a recording studio, keeping things simple yet thrilling at the same time. After the Atlanta singer finishes the video, we see a picture of the Atlanta singer with her LVRN family that ends the video.
Her sophomore studio album, Still Over It, was released in the past year, and is conceptually a continuation of her 2019 album, Over It. This project contains 20 soulful cuts as well as appearances from a wide range of artists including City Girls, Cardi B, SZA, Lil Durk, Pharrell Williams, Omarion, Ari Lennox, and Ciara. Following its release in the first week, Walker’s CD, Still Over It, became the first one to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. This was the first time Summer Walker had achieved a No. 1 on the chart.
The moMINTs project from Tobe Nwigwe was launched last month, and he has consistently shared visuals from the body of work. The clips have been well received so far, including “Lord Forgive Me,” “Get A Lil Bag,” “Big Cap” which features his wife Pharrell Williams, Fat, and Johnny Venus of EarthGang, “Destruction,” “Round Here (Parts 1 and 2),” and “Been Broke” Chamillionaire, starring Fat, and 2 Chainz.
A day earlier (Sept. 20), Nwigwe released the official music video for the group’s newest single “Mini Me.” Fat and Dame D.O.L.L.A. appear on the track, which sees them come together in a stunning garden for a live performance of their collaboration. The song begins with Nwigwe handling the verse:
In 2020, Nwigwe dropped Cincoriginals, a 14-track compilation that included Killa Kyleon, Black Thought, Trae Tha Truth, Cyhi The Prynce, Bun B, D Smoke, Royce da 5’9”, Big K.R.I.T., Fat, as well as his go-to producer LaNell Grant. It has been almost two years since he dropped loose records like “Wake Up Everybody,” “A Million,” and “A Revealing Freestyle.”
