Simple.

Eight tracks of Kaytranada-produced bounce and introspective travelogue. A seamless, looping meditation on wealth, roots, and the distance between home and Paris.

It's what happens when a top-tier lyricist meets the king of the modern groove in a Parisian hotel room.

A sophisticated blend of rhythmic confidence and quiet, travel-induced introspection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the final track back into the first, creating a seamless loop of reflection.

The way the bassline in 'Taco' locks into a hypnotic, swinging groove that feels both heavy and effortless.

The sudden atmospheric shift during the 'Southeast to Paris' interlude that bridges two distinct worlds.
