DJ Critical Hype has released a new blend tape called ANDRE. The tape features André 3000 rapping over Tyler, the Creator beats.
André 3000 and Tyler, the Creator have never done a song together, which is a shame. The two artists have a lot of strengths and would make good music together.
So we are grateful for the work that DJ Critical Hype has done.
Critical Hype is known for his blend tapes, with the last being the epic J. Cole and Neptunes blend tape In Search Of…Cole. Critical Hype is back with another; this time the DJ is combining André 300 vocals with Tyler, the Creator production.
The tape is fittingly called ANDRE — paying homage to Tyer’s last album IGOR. And what’s really cool about this tape is there is unreleased instrumentals from Tyler. The tape premiered on Pigeons and Planes on Wednesday. Critical Hype spoke to Pigeons and Planes about the making of the tape, which took 10 months. One of the cool things is that Tyler was totally cool with it dropping and in fact sent Critical Hype unreleased instrumentals he could use:
