Kaydy Cain Essentials

A prolific Madrileño known for his work in collectives like PXXR GVNG and La Mafia del Amor, Kaydy Cain has long fuelled the city’s trap and reggaeton scenes. But more genre-busting rhythms came as he embarked on his solo career with LPs Calle Amor (2017) and Lo Mejor de lo Peor (2019), smoothly surfing sounds as diverse as reggaeton, dancehall, Afro, mambo urbano and bachata — with the vital input of producers King DouDou, Los Del Control and more. Marrying street cred with perennially balmy Caribbean beats for the urban dance floor, Kaydy Cain finds the missing link between the two.
