    What’s that Eros song?

    It is a Italian pop-rock song released in 1993, where it reached #1 in the Belgian charts and #3 in the Spanish charts. It was then re-released in 1997 as a duet version with Tina Turner, that version charted in many European charts, however it never charted in the UK or the US. It is most likely back in the charts due to Tina Turner's death, although it isn't an obvious song to re-enter.

    PULLLLLLLLL THROUGH DURK. GET THAT NUMBER ONE!!!!!!! Oh my days, i never expected to see Lil Durk in the top 3 of any uk chart, the same applies with J. Cole. The UK finally has some taste! I hope the album effect helps it climb further

    KAYTRANADA - $prayforhaiti (feat. Mach-Hommy)

     

    Album Track from Intimidated

     

    Thoughts: So, my entry for BJSC 155 is '$prayforhaiti' by KAYTRANADA & Mach-Hommy. KAYTRANADA is one of my favourite artists of all time so i've enjoyed the fact that i have been able to enter his music. He's supporting The Weeknd this summer so it will be great to see him live.

     

     

    Background Info

     

     

     

     

    KAYTRANADA:

     

    Louis Kevin Celestin, more commonly known as KAYTRANADA is a highly-esteemed Haitian-Canadian electronic, hip-hop, funk and house producer. He began to make his name in 2010 releasing a series of mixtapes under the pseudonym Kaytradamus. In total during 2010-2012 he released 7 mixtapes, a collaborative studio album with his brother (Under the group name 'The Celestics' and 4 EPs under that pseudonym.

     

    At the end of 2012 he officially became KAYTRANADA, despite this name change he still continued to release mixtapes and singles frequently including producing for Juno-award nominated rapper Koriass. 2014 was his breakout, he started to become properly known. It started with production for some huge names including GoldLink, Vic Mensa and legendary hip-hop duo Mobb Depp. He topped off the year featuring in MixMag magazine and scoring a record deal with XL Recordings. 2015 was another big year, producing for the likes of Amine (A collaborator who would be vital in the rest of his career), Freddie Gibbs and Kali Uchis. He also featured on The Internet's song 'Girl', a song which has over 128 million streams on Spotify. He finished the year winning a SOCAN award and playing to over 12,000 people twice after he got a prestigious slot for supporting Madonna on tour.

     

    2016 was the time for him to put a spotlight on his own music. That May he released his debut album '99.9%'. The record featured a broad array of talent from across the globe, including Craig David, AlunaGeorge & Anderson .Paak. The album was a critical success appearing on Pitchfork's, The Guardian's and The Independent's year-end album lists. The album managed him to attain the Polaris Music Prize, an Abilu Music Award and a Juno Award. For the rest of the year he continued to increase his list of collaborators through his production, adding the likes of Chance The Rapper and Katy B to it.

     

    Between 2017 and 2019 KAYTRADADA was silent on the solo music front, he also started produce a bit less for well-known artists. However this was all worth it when he dropped his sophomore record 'Bubba' in December 2019. The record expanded on the House and Techno elements of '99.9%'. The record was once more a critical success winning him his first two Grammy Awards. He returned in 2021 with his 'Intimidated' EP. The title track which features H.E.R. became his biggest hit of his career so far (and scored him another Grammy Nomination).

     

    This year he released a collaborative LP with Amine, showing how he has stayed loyal to his collaborators.

     

     

    Mach-Hommy:

     

    Mach-Hommy is a Haitian-American rapper from New Jersey, he is influenced by the likes of William Shakespeare. He came onto the scene in 2004 and has released 26 studio albums (Including a collaborative project with Earl Sweatshirt) and 18 EPs. Over his time he has collaborated with the likes of Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn & Knxwledge. As a result of his work ethic and elusiveness Mach-Hommy has garnered a cult following, this was boosted by his critically acclaimed 2021 album 'Pray For Haiti'.

    'All My Life' debuted at #17 on the Uk charts and #2 on the Hot 100. This has become a Durk's biggest hit as a lead artist so far in his career. The tracklist for the album has been announced with a lot of diversity: From Alicia Keys to Juice Wrld and 21 Savage to Morgan Wallen. The record also features Chief Wuk, Future, Kodak Black, Rob 49 and obviously J. Cole.

    Just saw that Olivia is dropping a new T-Shirt commemorating 'Drivers License'. There is a driving license on the T-Shirt which has an expiry date, that being June 30th 2023. Could this be an important date in the future i.e. the beginning of a new era?
