Kaytranda dropped a single called “Look Easy” featuring Lucky Daye about a month ago. He just released a video and I thought the video’s content was somewhat correlated to the subject material we learn in this class, specifically, aesthetics. This video reminds me of that scene sequence in black panther where they have a fight in a casino that is hidden in a fish market. I think Kaytranda has some sort of connection to the Japanese market/aesthetic because he was recently the cover of GQ Japan. I did some research and also found out he spent last summer there, perhaps working on some music. Nonetheless, it is a great song and an amazing visual story.

Thanks for sharing this! I also am a fan of Kaytranada. I agree; he definitely has a sweet spot for Japanese aesthetics. His visuals often remind me of the film Blade Runner and that’s another example of imagining cyber-punk future with large Asian influences.
This is great, thanks for sharing! I also love listening to Kaytranada (go Bubba getting nominated for a grammy!).
Love Kaytranada!!
