Kaytranada Goes On A Rampage, Drops 8 New Surprise Tracks

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

If you logged on to Soundcloud this morning, expecting to gently scroll through a few new tracks as you sipped your soothing cup of green tea, you probably caught sight of a new Kaytranada track, pressed play, and continued to scroll. Then you saw another, and liked it (the best way to save tracks for later listening, of course). Then another Kaytra cut. And another. And another. And then you realized, this was some sort of reckoning. A damned sonic catastrophe. Tropical storm Joaquin may be headed for the Eastern seaboard, but hurricane Kay has already flooded the damn game.

Beginning at roughly 1 a.m. EST, the ever-flourishing producer proceeded to drop eight tracks in total, with cuts ranging from the pop-n-lock anthem "NOBODY BEATS THE KAY" to a fiendish dance club flip of A Tribe Called Quest's "Oh My God." There's also the unfinished disco boogie joint "WHATEVA U WANT," which keenly flips Gene Dunlap's "This One on Me," and the gooey house jawn "Go Ahead." There's something for literally everyone to enjoy in these uploads, even if they are just newly-cleared cobwebs taken out the back of his external hard drive. A new EP's worth of music when you weren't expecting it (and when we just got treated to new Kaytra not 24 hours ago) is a beautiful thing that happens in this day and age, and Kaytra is keeping it going.

If the man's lost his mind, we hope he never finds it. Listen to all eight new tracks below.
