Kenny Beats is a hip-hop producer who\\u2019s been making beats and producing songs for other artists since 2010. He\\u2019s got a long list of collaborations, with rappers like Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs, and Denzel Curry. In 2022, he did something he wasn\\u2019t really ever expecting to do, which was to release an album of his own. The album is called Louie, and it\\u2019s a tribute to Kenny\\u2019s father.

I talked to Kenny about the song \\u201cStill,\\u201d the first song he made specifically for this project. It features guest vocals from JPEGMafia and Omar Apollo, and a sample from gospel singer Linda Kemp. Louie includes a lot of tracks where you can hear Kenny\\u2019s dad\\u2019s voice, and even though "Still" isn\\u2019t one of them, as Kenny explains, his relationship with his dad is embedded in the song\\u2019s DNA.
