If there has been a critical influence to the Hip-Hop game this year who has not received the proper credit, it is Canadian DJ and Record Producer, Kaytranda. Dropping a debut album that features a genre-expanding extravaganza of universal talent and production that is impressively clean, Kaytranda is glowed up as he stunts on his competition and sails his own boat with a crispy-clean approach. ‘99.9%’ was released on May 6th, 2016 through XL Recordings and it features fifteen addictive tracks with infectious melodies, a variety of dance-floor oriented and smoother soulful aspects, and boundless versatility within catchy synth melodies and smooth bass lines. The album’s third track, “Got It Good”, is as smooth as butter as Craig David steps in to take it to another level while serenading the ladies with his sexy vocals. The entire album leaves listeners hypnotized, which has left music lovers passionately surprised that Kaytranda is nowhere in sight on 2016 album of the year lists. Let’s celebrate ‘99.9%’ as an album that didn’t make the big wigs lists yet leaves you hungry for more. Here are the top ten lyrics that are laced within Kaytranada’s euphoric production skills by artists ranging from Vic Mensa to Little Dragon.

“Our love isn’t plastic
But here’s my credit
Why not go max it
The fact is there’s no stress
Baby I got this
Treat you like the queen in Buckingham Palace, yeah.”

Let it flow away and never mind it

“She’s burning here below my mind
The green and purple smoke it rises, rises
As every hidden wish collides
Those illusions but I can’t deny it
She’s burning in below my mind
The green and purple smoke it rises, rises
As every hidden wish collides
I’m falling and I can’t deny it.”
Track – “Vivid Dreams” featuring River Tiber

“Can’t deny or lie
Boy you blew my mind
But I’m tired of my heart being broken
And my love being taken for granted
I gave you all I had
So crazy
How you wasted my time
How you reached that borderline.”
Track – “Leave Me Alone” featuring Shay Lia

“I feel raindrops falling washing off my tears
I been walking through a daydream all my years
Oh I do believe in world peace my dear
I do
Wise women will call your name
If you believe in impossible things
If you believe if it grows from seeds to a beautiful tree.”
Track – “Bullets” featuring Little Dragon

“I feel like I’m walking
The tightrope of love in your circus babe
If I were to fall, it’d be my last day
Even though you’re right under me.”

I don’t clock the time cause
When it comes to me and you girl our time is priceless

Then the numbers they be counting coming in
Do you believe in world peace my friend

“Gotta love it though, they’re hatin’, homie
I be on Sunsets then go back to 68th and Stony
Cooked out my basement
Dropped my tape and got my homies’ placements
I’ll play the keys in my sleep on the beach, that’s a dream vacation.”
