Kaytranada and Aminé come full circle

Kaytranada and Aminé come full circle One-time outsiders form their own in-group for this seamless collaborative album Enlarge this image toggle caption Lucas Creighton Lucas Creighton In July of 2014, the marketing student and would-be rapper Aminé sent out a wishful Twitter DM attempting to get his fledgling music career off the ground. In 2014, the Haitian-Quebecois producer had made a name for himself as a kind of remix savant, molding R&B classics like Janet Jackson's "If" and TLC's "Creep" into swinging club tracks and thumping beat-scene anthems. It feels somewhat like kismet that, despite their different arcs and very different approaches, Kaytranada and Aminé's trajectories have led them right back to one another. On "Master P," Big Sean delivers a nimble, authoritative guest verse, matching Aminé's puffed-up energy.
