Tk Kayembe ist Teil des TeamSupreme, dem Produzenten wie Djemba Djemba oder Mr. Carmack angehören. Nach Releases mit King Henry und Two Fresh ergab sich ein Twitter-Kontakt mit der New Yorker Rap-Queen Angel Haze. Das klassische „Ich-schicke-dir-ein-paar-Beats“-Geplänkel brachte den Hit „Werkin‘ Girl“ mit sich. „I found her online. I came across her music in 2012 and than we started tweeting and I sent her some beats including “Werkin’ Girls”“, beschreibt Tk die Verbindung. Auch auf Angels Debüt-Album „Dirty Gold“ ist er als auf „White Lilies/White Lies“ vertreten. Die Zusammenarbeit und Freundschaft der beiden gipfelte letztes Jahr in Angels „Back To The Woods„, das vollständig von Tk Kayembe produziert wurde.

Your favorite vers on one of your own beats?
Probably some new shit that isn’t released yet – but it’s some Angel Haze shit.
Favorite beat from yourself?
I am really proud of the whole “Back To The Woods” because it was the first record I set down with an artist – we wrote all the songs together.
First bought album?
Mark Whitfield and to be honest, I remember some Kenny G shit.
Favorite cover art?
First sample you used?
I think some Eddie James stuff. No, wait, it was Nina Simone!

In LA, Artform Records, Adrian Younges record store. He is also one of my favorite producers and writers. I really love the “Something About April” is one of my favorites.
