Kaytranada just dropped a new track featuring Vic Mensa, giving us hope that a fully-fledged album on XL is coming sooner than the rumoured end of year. It’s his second single on the label following the success of 2014’s highly-acclaimed Leave Me Alone. The Montreal-based producer, who just kicked off a monthly radio show here for BBC Radio 1 (as are Flying Lotus, Skream and Jon Hopkins), has teamed up with Chicago rapper Mensa, who’s previously collaborated with Chance The Rapper, Danny Brown and Disclosure.
If you want to catch Kaytranada on tour, he’s doing select dates in the US and Europe between now and June. Check if he’s passing through your city below.
