GOT IT GOOD

The Record Report

Welcome to Episode 3 of your favorite music podcast, The Record Report.

This week, we'll be taking a BUS RIDE (all puns intended) through Kaytranada's debut studio album, 99.9%.

Following a slew of SoundCloud flips to get people to the dancefloor in the early 2010s like his flip of Teedra Moses' track "Just Wanna Be Your Girl," Kaytranada was on a steady rise in the music industry. The hype only kicked into a second gear when he signed to XL Recordings in 2014 and the label eventually announced that he would drop a debut album. "LEAVE ME ALONE" was the lead single that most fans knew, but the Montreal producer had a knack for teasing tracks from 99.9% throughout several live mixes while touring, from Broccoli City Fest to Afropunk.

When 99.9% came out, the album met much-deserved critical and commercial acclaim for having such a refreshing sound in (what was at the time) the turning tide of music. However, what we didn't know coming back into it now is how much it's aged like a fine wine. Not only was Kaytra's debut a precursor for his historical Grammy-winning album BUBBA, but it included a wide variety of talent from young legends like Craig David and Phonte to artists that set the tone for the industry in the 2010s like Syd and Anderson .Paak.

For this episode, we choose our top 3 songs from 99.9%, talk about the album's importance to the electronic/house genre at that time, and give our flowers to several underrated artists who made a splash in the 2010s from River Tiber to BadBadNotGood.

We also talk about the lack of good R&B (from men) that doesn't focus mainly on sex, and mention what we listen to breaking shit in the gym.
