While fans wait patiently for KayCyy to release his debut album Who Is KayCyy?, the songwriting mastermind seems to be hard at work doing virtually anything else.
Between dropping bangers with Gesaffelstein, premiering new singles with Lancey Foux, and collaborating with everyone from Fivio Foreign to Johan Lenoxm KayCyy is steadily building a creative resumé outside of his work as Kanye Westâs latest protegée. This week, his list of accomplishments grows with the release of Get Used To It, a collection of genre-melding singles perfectly-polished for your upcoming summertime rotation. Featuring collaborations with 070 Shake and Annahstasia, itâs only a matter of time until KayCyy enters hip-hopâs upper echelon.
Get Used To It is a cinematic and carefully-crafted project from one of hip-hopâs most hyped newcomers, but surprisingly, it is also KayCyyâs riskiest release yet. From the hypnotic and high-energy opener âLook What I Foundâ to the intoxicatingly downtempo âHold You Up,â KayCyy does not try to pander or trend-hop to fans hoping for another Donda or âThe Sunâ. Instead, KayCyy provides refreshing ingenuity that manifests as warping off-kilter bangersââReplayâ and âBorrowââor heart-on-sleeve performances that deserve to be displayed in the ââNeeded For Somethingâ and âHowwww.â Whether heâs impassionately rapping on the electric âShoutoutsâ or singing pensively with 070 Shake on âRain,â every track is instilled with a futuristic energy that firmly supplants KayCyy in a lane of his own.
Though attending the âKanye West School of Dropping an Albumâ comes with its fair share of benefits, it also means that fans will have to wait a little longer for the upcoming debut from our hero. If Get Used To It is any indication of things to come, however, then KayCyy is an artist that deserves your attention as spring blossoms to summer.
Listen to Get Used To It.
