As long as he’s been on the scene, we’ve known Kaytranada to be capable of marvelous musical moments. Whether he’s flipping Janet Jackson classics over house-inflected beats or turning your favorite Mary J. Blige cut into to full on bossa nova stomp, Kaytra’s proven his ism to be amongst the most potent in the game, giving listeners a buzz with even the most fleeting of snare cracks. But a deep remix catalogue can only take a producer so far, and as far as we can tell, the Canadian beat constructor has his sights set on the mountain top. His long-awaited debut album 99.9% is the culmination of years of refinement and dedication to cultivating a sound that is all his own, leaning heavy on the four-to-the-floor minimalism, but with a seasoned producer’s touch. And now, after what must feel like ages to millennials, Kaytranada’s debut album is here and every bit worth that wait. The record finds him lining up with some of the most forward-minded r&b and soul cats of a generation, including Anderson .Paak, Karriem Riggins, Syd Tha Kid, Little Dragon, Phonte, GoldLink and plenty more. Peep the full track list below and then sit back, put something to the air and let this thing ride.
