DESCRIPTION:
2x12" LP -Includes Free Download card - Sophomore release on RCA Records from DJ & Producer Kaytranada.
The critically acclaimed follow up to debut "99.9%", this is a 17 track album, which features collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Tinashe, Goldlink, Estelle, Kali Ushis & more...
Bubba is a natural advancement from 99.9%. Nothing has quite the same level of buoyancy or high spirits as the debut's "Lite Spots," but this shows that Kaytra is even more accommodating for his singing and rapping collaborators and can make a continuous and cohesive set with enough detail and variation to keep a listener anticipating each move.
The twisting and snaking basslines, dazed keyboard melodies and accents, and spongy drums are all prevalent, tweaked with enough style and ingenuity to be fresh rather than freeze-dried, integrating dusty hip-hop, deep house, and assorted Caribbean forms with typical ease. Kaytra's beats continue to inspire his generally mild-mannered guests to write about nightlife, flings, and simmering romantic conflict. Kali Uchis deviates from this with a stream of invective on "10%," a colorful, off-center hybrid of disco and funk. Swerving farther away is the sweet-voiced Durand Bernarr, who later provides the open-hearted "Freefall," the LP's butterfly-filled emotional peak (preceded by the dazzling French touch-meets-Detroit beatdown "Scared to Death," the finest of the brief instrumental interludes). Kaytra built his reputation in the early 2010s on remixes of tracks such as Teedra Moses' "Be Your Girl," so it's most appropriate that he and the lioness make a connection on "Culture," a plush highlight that closes out his first full decade in ideal fashion.

Kaytranada (stylized as KAYTRANADA, sometimes shortened as KAYTRA) is Haitian-Canadian music producer, rapper and singer Louis Kevin Celestin (born August 25, 1992). Celestin rose to prominence after releasing a series of mixtapes, remixes, and original music projects beginning in 2010 under the alias Kaytradamus. By 2013, and under the moniker Kaytranada, he began gaining wider recognition and, the following year, signed a deal with XL Recordings, with whom he released his debut studio album, 99.9%, in 2016. In 2019, he released its follow-up, Bubba, for which he won two Grammy Awards including Best Dance/Electronic Album. Celestin is one half of the hip hop duo The Celestics, along with his brother Lou Phelps.
Kaytranada arrived during the early 2010s with ear-perking remixes and an array of sounds that veered from J Dilla-inspired hip-hop beats to distinctly woozy house grooves. Numerous commissioned works and short-form solo releases led to his debut album, 99.9%—which went on to win the 2016 Polaris Music Prize and the 2017 Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year. After signing to major-label RCA, the Haitian-Canadian released his second album, Bubba.
Kaytranada has worked with a wide array of artists including Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper, Robert Glasper, Lauren Faith, Mick Jenkins, GoldLink, Snoop Dogg, Freddie Gibbs, and Alicia Keys. His 2016 debut album, 99.9% features guest appearances from Phonte, Craig David, Vic Mensa, Little Dragon, and more. Bubba, his second album, was released the following December with Pharrell, Kali Uchis, and Masego among the contributors—and has won the young producer two Grammys at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
