Bio: Trackademicks is a buzzing MC and producer from the Bay (Alameda, CA to be exact) who's spent the past few years crafting standout tracks for ... (more) everyone from Mistah FAB to J*Davey to Kid Sister to Phonte of Little Brother. The stylistic diversity of those in-demand productions is magnified tenfold in his own music - Track takes the energy of hyphy and the bump of classic Bay rap, mixes it with the smoothed-out sonics of vintage pop and r&b, and ties it all together with a crazy ear for melodies and a willingness to experiment, creating a new, wholly original Cali sound in the process.

"Enjoy What You Do" is Trackademicks' hyperkinetic debut single, backed by club remixes by FG fam Flosstradamus and Sammy Bananas. Flip it over for laidback b-side "Topsidin," a new-school spring and summer anthem featuring MoxMore from Track's own Honor Roll crew. This isn't indie or backpack or "hipster" rap, just good-ass music for the world to enjoy. Come get schooled!

"Trackademicks is honestly one of my favourite young producers around right now. He's one hit record away from being on the level of at least a Polow Da Don. I love the way his keys provide this warm bed of beautiful 80's R&B synth but the drums stay so f***ing banging. The Janelle Monae remix he did was one of my favourite cuts from last year." - Mark Ronson (less)
