West London based duo Kay 2 release the third promotional video in the run up to their highly anticipated forthcoming debut mixtape ‘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, 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 Mike Posner, Wiz Khalifa, Jamie T, Kid Cudi and N-Dubz 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 diverse duo have also clocked up over 50,000 views on YouTube in the past 6 months, and have slowly but surely turned the heads of leading bloggers with their distinctive, limitless sound.
‘Dreamers’ is the last single before the release of the mixtape, and it has certainly prepped listeners for the eclectic, well developed sound that these boys will be bringing to the table on their debut full length release. Based around a beautifully atmospheric vocal sample, the track is driven by an almost-but-not-quite-jungle drum break and a powerful vocal performance which this collective have become well known for.
