“Kay first made his name as a Soundcloud standout and dance DJ, but he has the mentality of a musico-archaeologist, digging past yesterday’s obvious pop gems to unearth the overlooked. In its sonic diversity, his album is reminiscent of Madlib’s crate-digging dynamism, but unlike a lot of instrumental hip-hop (or the house artists he’s sometimes grouped with), Kay’s beats are not at all rigid or predictable. His drums are configured strangely, bending, shifting, doubling back. With those rhythms, and his own custom-made synths, the 23-year-old shows himself to be a strong-willed studio auteur on a mix of instrumental and lyric-based tracks.” – Pitchfork

“After racking up millions of plays on streaming sites, Kaytranada has arrived, an artist of the digital age whose respect for the Golden Age will draw fans in, and whose attention to detail will keep listeners nodding their heads throughout. Along with a growing legion of fans, Kaytranada’s debut project 99.9% has been cosigned by an eclectic mix of artists including Vic Mensa, Phonte, Craig David, Anderson .Paak, BadBadNotGood, GoldLink and more. A slew of instrumental, Hip Hop and R&B tracks, the album, much like the title suggests, earns high marks.” – Hip Hop DX
