Today, Hypetrak released its latest artist-rendered mix from the ever-eclectic Kaytranada. Instrumental Hip-Hop Is Dead is described by Hypetrak as “an intriguing selection of hard-hitting unreleased production. Much closer to Dilla‘s Donuts than a DJ mix”. Apparently, Kaytranada is declaring the end of instrumental hip-hop, just when it seemed to be making a comeback. His mix is a compilation of what he characterized as “some old hip hop beats” of his. It is a smattering of trap drums, heavy bass, and sample-laden interludes, all sandwiched inside of a comfortable synth sandwich that can carry you through the day with it’s smooth transitions to airily different areas. Check out the full mix from Kaytranda streaming down below!
