Kaytranada – Bubba

Review

KAYTRANADA's "BUBBA" is a game-changing ride, shaking up the electronic funk game harder than a jukebox in the Badu banger. This '19 drop is a fusion fiesta, blending dance, house, R&B, and hip-hop vibes into one spicy dish. The guestlist is stacked with heavy hitters like Iman Omari, SiR, Mick Jenkins, and even the man of the hour, Pharrell Williams.

Each track brings its own flavor, from the pulsing fire of "DO IT" and "Puff Lah" to the smoother joints like "What You Need" and "Midsection". KAYTRANADA's got the moves to make these collaborations feel like old friends, even when he's bringing new flavors to the table. He's sampling the classics and smacking 'em with fresh beats, creating a vibe that's both nostalgic and next-level. "BUBBA" ain't just an album, it's a celebration of the power of music to bring people together and uplift the whole joint. Kaytranada closed out the year with a slam dunk, leaving a mark on both the electronic and collab scene that won't fade anytime soon. - Casey
