[@Baskerville__]

One of the best producers around today, stop sleeping on him!

[@drumistry5]

Yeah he’s got strong waves in his sound

[@nealwauters306]

i kinda want him to stay underground tho

[@missgigip]

Cory R I feel this so much.. I want people to appreciate him but I am super selfish 🤣 I love “telling the truth too” ..”waiting” w kelela was amazing..”another lover” w van Jess..I don’t know why people expected 99.9% again cuz I saw he was coming in this pocket a mile away and he snapped

[@CurrentlySpinning]

Big facts

[@JeffreyLMW]

I swear

[@ground.jordan]

Zane: so this is a really long, in-depth, personal, spiritual creative process? Kaytranada: *I just smoke bubba and send beats*

He seems so much more confident now

[@mrmonkey992]

Zain Shahabuddin I realized to , I’m so happy for him

[@sheshewantit45]

YUP , a lot more well spoken now !!

[@1967sfoman]

It's the Bubba.

[@Hashbrownjj2311]

Zain Shahabuddin Facts!

[@arimonroe7060]

Way more confidence in his mixing too and honestly he has every right to be, he def has improved with transitions

[@beng9882]

Tinashe went crazy on that track.

[@Tony_A_441]

Ben G facts

[@willarroz6703]

Tinashe and Kali tbh

[@bakabbyy]

SNAPPED

[@shashavengesayi6055]

Love her

[@xFREExLANDERx]

Shoulda been the first single imo

[@KAydelott7]

I fell in love with him 5 years ago and he NEVER disappoints. I pray he never stops making music. It has helped me dance through depression and I mean that!

[@elenadimeski1860]

Khatia Aydelott ME TOO!!!

[@ellaregan4307]

AMEN TO THAT

[@Jasminesim18]

‼️‼️‼️

[@invisiblecurious856]

same from souncloud, majestic, to GRAMMY. Been following him since day one. Crazy talent.

[@sh_00412]

Always makes me happy

[@thedeepdarkwebb]

Glad he said The Worst In Me is his favorite. It’s such a great song

[@TC-xq3vi]

I love zane’s interview style. He is also a chameleon of sorts, tailoring his attention to so many different personalities.

[@sebastianoliver7840]

That song with Teedra Moses .... omg Goldlink and Teedra is magic with KAYTRANADA

[@_gypsymelodies_]

Kaytranada act like he don't know he's famous.

[@ozichiwright3545]

Yeah , He's just a simple human being who's exploiting his musical ability. That's it

[@jenswik5670]

Ozichi Wright man what?

[@ioiioooio193]

@@jenswik5670 its not a negative thing

[@hershey5790]

That’s how Canadians do. You’ll notice that most Canadian celebs are really down to earth.

[@theshadestartsnow9818]

hes humble!

[@jizanthapus1]

I've never so desperately wanted that unreleased Anderson X Kaytra goodness in my life :(

[@dreamydrea8010]

It would be so dope if Kaytranada and the internet did a whole album together Kay Steve and Matt with Syd's vocal!!!!! I woke neverstip crying happy tears 🤣💙😭

[@derrickunderwood4336]

They have great chemestry

[@missgigip]

Omg this would be amazing

[@fuze1293]

there's way too many cuts in this interview & Zane doesn't even seem into it but I love the answers KAYTRANADA's giving

[@sunbaby1190]

FUZE agree. The interview felt rushed. I feel like they should have been sitting down. & The interviewer didn’t make a vibe

[@cempakadewi6769]

It's not the fully interview that's why

[@Bondisaurus]

I get that vibe also.

[@andredawson9463]

I VERY rarely comment on KZbin, but I had to say how good this album was & I'm happy we don't have to wait long for new tings from Kaytra

[@missgigip]

Bubba is a masterpiece seriously ...love it so much...glad everyone is waking up to his greatness..him and Pharrell are my top 2 faves

[@Wanderlust]

BUBBA is 🔥🔥🔥

[@wadequilty1148]

I remember the release of 99.9% like it was yesterday, such amazing work has been put into this album.

[@UrbanNoizeMusic]

From Majestic Casual, SoundCloud and now. The progression is amazing. Proud of my Haitian, Canadian brotha.

[@raihanshrk1955]

Haha yes without them we we are nothing lol. Our taste will never be so good without them.

[@iMellaa]

They spoke about every song except the one song that stood out to me... ‘Need It’ with Masego again. It’s INCREDIBLE. This album just showcases how amazing he is at his work. The transitions are so smooth and effortless!!!!

[@volcomLPjerk]

iMellaa best song, holy moly

[@iMellaa]

@@volcomLPjerk HANDS DOWN. Closely followed by Gray Area!!!

[@KAydelott7]

That transition into Taste!!!! Literally flawless! Mad!

[@missgigip]

Khatia Aydelott the transitions were on point

[@IEGI]

A future Kaytranada+Mick Jenkins mixtape? Yes please!

[@jules-cq3mq]

such a legend already

[@Kiahlaflame]

I can’t stop dancing to BUBBA

[@missgigip]

I really hope Pharrell and Kaytra do that EP they spoke about ..midsection was a teaser track imo

[@tomsmith8453]

Yesss just watched the interview where that was mentioned today!

[@SpraggieEdits]

it was definitely the worst song on the album but i'd still love to hear that project

[@missgigip]

SpraggieEdits it’s better live..he played a snippet at afropunk 2018 and it went over really well..takes a few listens..def not a standout I agree but not terrible..I’ve heard worse from P and he’s my fave too lol

[@WarriorDM4u]

SpraggieEdits I agree, I was surprised by that

[@shhhh6174]

Every song I like, is a remix by Kaytranada. Like I legit cannot listen to the original version of anything he remixed 😭. His version of everything is just better. He fills in those empty spaces in music that people dont always think to, i love that. I can see how it's difficult to rap or sing over some of his stuff if you don't understand music and counts and cues etc. I'm a dancer and its hard to not be basic over his beats because there's so much going on in the music. It has actual layers. Its hard to create to, but its fun and the possibilities are endless with tracks like his.

[@chabalamwape9161]

Bubba is a classic! It will probably win a Grammy 👑

[@ricotoochill867]

You Predicted The Future Well lol

[@chabalamwape9161]

[@chioma916]

durand is SO talented. SO SO talented.

[@lune5289]

Yes

[@erinknightingale251]

correct

[@Biboche23]

He's back!!! On repeat since Monday! i literally know all the songs now. I love to see our Montreal brother who used to play at our local parties and after parties and seeing him take over the world is a beautiful thing

[@Afamefuna]

10% is a genius beat

[@dwaynesworld_1]

I needed this Kaytranada is back!! Just in time too!!

[@MichaelBrown-ti1un]

Good to see him mention Madlib and J Dilla as his main influences. His sample-based stuff, even tho it's dance music centric, makes it obvious that those two really made an impression on him. Album is bandanas. I've never heard Teedra Moses, SiR, Kali Uchis or Tinashe, especially, sound the way they sound, until they hopped on these Kaytranada tracks.

[@tanneryadig4451]

grammy award winning finally. so well deserved.

[@dreamydrea8010]

I'm obsessed with kaytranada's music and I want ALL of it!!!! So glad this album is out FINALLY!!!!!

[@mrmonkey992]

I love KAYTRANADA so much😭😭😭

[@ivanobaa]

I haven't played "scared to death" & "Free fall" enough.. these are my favs on the album

[@missgigip]

Why didn’t he ask about the Teedra track?! Dying to hear how it came about ie how they picked the beat, how long it took etc..how it feels to come full circle from the remix..

[@juicelab]

missgigi why don’t you start a KZbin channel and ask himself yourself?

[@missgigip]

juicelab are u being sarcastic or??? I actually did ask on Twitter because I was curious

[@regular.decision]

kept thinking this the entire time!

[@itsjaylenbrown]

RIGHT!!

[@floecizes]

Agreed! I’ve been loving Teedra for YEARS as well! I’d love to know this too 💜

[@DEVDEV3936]

always so humble too, love kay

[@koreanfriedchildren]

Zane is so relaxed in this interview, so diff from when he interviews Kanye. Kaytranada effect.

[@yasm6003]

kaytranada is extremely underated. He brought Estelle back. legendary!!!

[@keolanechange6593]

Never been this early to an upload. Very dope album

[@kareemhassan__]

Should’ve talked about the Masego track!! They need to put respect on his name 🔥

[@UNOPIA_]

Looking forward to watch live performance him & tinashe, the worst in me is the best track from the album

[@V.A.C.C]

Love this dude, so humble and nice

[@LoyalTC]

This album is really 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LuuLovesMusic]

Thank you, Kay! We love you! A great album, and what an amazing early christmas gift :)

[@missgigip]

I just went back to the videos I recorded during his set this past summer and he played Go dj , puff lah, oh no and worst in me..I had heard midsection at afropunk 2018 and 10% was played during pitchfork fest ..so I had heard 6 of em..he stays sneak playing records ...yes I’m a dork and a fan girl thanks

[@hansencarnacion5886]

Dont sleep on kaytranadaaa !!!

[@BrunoKabahizi]

In the latter half of 2020 now and I've listened to BUBBA much. It's replaced all the parties I would have went to if the pandemic weren't so bad in the U.S. Honestly I think it's one of my favorite project of all time now.

[@74KayJay]

I knew it!! This album has been on repeat and by the time I got to the end, I was like, THAT'S ALL!?! LOL! Glad you're releasing the rest later Kaytranada! Thank you! Thanks for the interview Zane, loved your questions. That Tinashe track is crazy, I want to say favorite but Teedra, Pharrell, Goldlink, are still to tough to compare, so I won't do it. Can't wait to see you on the road.

[@BecomeSupreme]
