Kay 2 x The Strange Days - The Strangest Day
West London based Kay 2 & The Strange Days release their highly anticipated, self produced debut mixtape titled ‘The Strangest Day’.
Having grown up on a small council estate in Chelsea / Fulham with a rich Moroccan and Irish heritage, music played a monumental part in the upbringing of Kay 2 & The Strange Days, something which has transcended into the music they make today. "It's basically Pop and Hip Hop, with a mixture of any other genre we like," they reveal, whilst name checking the likes of J.Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Mayer Hawthorn, Kid Cudi and Curren$y as some of their musical influences.
They've already peaked at Number 2 on the Myspace UK Unsigned Music Charts, and received interest from countless record labels, distribution companies and tastemakers from across the industry. The duo also appeared on Channel AKA’s recent ‘Streets, Grime and Life’ compilation CD alongside the likes of N Dubz, Skepta, Loick Essien, JME, Chimpunk, Wiley, Ghetts, Lethal Bizzle and many more.
At 17 tracks deep, ‘The Strangest Days’ is a collection of some of Kay 2 & The Strange Day’s best work to date. Featuring mostly all of group member Mike’s production (barring ‘Hard To Say’ which is a cover of The Streets – At The Back Of The Line), the mixtape takes listeners on a uniquely obscure journey through British life viewed in the eyes of two music loving, weed smoking, thought consumed teenagers, who are just trying to make sense of ever present madness unravelling in front of their eyes.
Comprised of some devilishly abstract sampling, effervescent percussion, gentle guitar riffs and awe filled string sections, the instrumentation maintains a familiar aura throughout without becoming repetitive, whilst the duo’s blend of gawkish lyricism and honest chorus lines demonstrate exactly why Kay 2 & The Strange Days are being tipped as one the UK’s most exciting new music acts.
