Hear Kaytranada jump on the remix of Anderson .Paak’s ‘Bubblin’

A fortnight on from Busta Rhymes sharing his own remix of the song, Kaytranada comes through another fresh edit of Anderson .Paak’s ‘Bubblin’,

Somehow finding its way onto YouTube, Kaytranada’s version of the track has not previously been given a definitive official release date, so seems that it’s one for the leakers (in fact, the song’s already been removed countless times from Soundcloud).

The original of ‘Bubblin’ is set to appear on .Paak’s forthcoming album ‘Oxnard Ventura’, set to drop later this year. Dr Dre has also confirmed his own input into the record, which marks Anderson’s first release since signing to Aftermath.
