SAMPLES:
hitting you with those keys and those drums
I think this one will make you go, the way he hits you with those modal changes. That horn section is bad ass a ensemble named Easy Access Orchestra
the baseline on this
There's so much to like in this project.
Synths-Piano-Rhodes lines some Dilla-esque sounds here n there
Clocking in at 34 minutes, if you are new to Kaidi - this is a great place to start.
a well rounded effort for the fam .
In short: he crushed it. 10 tracks in total with two interludes. longest track is 5 n half minutes.
What a damn shame that no hip hop or R&B act in the states has assigned him to a album. He would save you money if you work for a label, fam.

If you are just being introduced to this goat. Hundreds of credits for 3 decades. Nice on the drums, keyboards and flutes. I will post some other posts I made on this dude.
Boutta check this out
the master of the remix as well
the way he brings that rhodes in with the drums with those harmonies. my new series im starting soon is a new in depth series on greatest remix producers in history. And kaidi for the past decade n half is just immaculate.
those synth and piano touches he puts on it - eve his outro is different for a remix π
no idea why this isnβt on streaming yet π
