It seems it's the week I get to catch up on all the great albums of 2022! Next in line is one of hip hop's most demanded producers - Mr. Kenny Beats.

I bet the producer is behind some of your favorite records in the past 10 years, and the list of artists he has worked with is extensive, to say the least. ScHoolboy Q, Vince Staples, JID, JPEGMafia, and FKA Twigs are just a fraction of the artists Kenny has produced, and because of that, the feature list on LOUIE is beyond impressive.

The interesting thing about the record is that he uses the vocals as one of the many instruments on the list. I think it's cool that you need to actually check the credits to figure out who plays a part on each track.

My pick for the day is "Still" - a homage to 70s soul music with a groovy twist. Play this on your next walk. It will automatically make you feel 10 times cooler.

LOUIE was released on August 31st via XL Recordings.
