Keys N Krates Share MY NIGHT Feat 070 Shake, Plus CURA Album Due 2/2  Image

Juno Award-winning act Keys N Krates take control on their latest single "My Night," a weighty hip hop track featuring haunting sung / rap vocals from rising GOOD Music artist 070 Shake. "It was easy to work with Keys N Krates because their workflow and energy made me comfortable," comments 070 Shake on the process behind "My Night." The New Jersey MC / vocalist is one of the leading front women of the 070 collective and was recently profiled by Billboard. "My Night" will appear on Keys N Krates' debut album Cura, which arrives on February 2nd via Dim Mak Records. Coinciding with this announcement, the Toronto-based trio reveals the European leg of their worldwide Cura tour, stopping in the UK, Netherlands, Hungary, Germany, and Austria this April.

Cura is shaping up to be some of the strongest work yet from Keys N Krates. The album's first single "Glitter (feat. Ambré)" has found widespread love at radio, with support from tastemakers KCRW, Beats 1 (Anna Lunoe, Julie Adenuga, Major Lazer) and Sirius XM's "Chill." The follow-up single "Flute Loop (feat. Ouici)" dominated Spotify, landing on New Music Friday playlists in 9 countries and trending across Viral Charts [Global Viral 50 (#32), United States Viral 50 (#17) and Canada Viral 50 (#19)]. Most recently, Complex lauded their soulful hip hop instrumental "Do What U Do" for encapsulating the spirit of J Dilla and DJ Premier.

Cura will be supported by an extensive headlining world tour, with North American dates kicking off on January 24th in Buffalo, NY and running through the spring. The group will make festival appearances at Ultra Music Festival and the recently announced Sónar Hong Kong. Shortly following, the band will embark on European dates, and circle back for a homecoming show at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall on May 11th.

In other news, the group's "Dum Dee Dum" single has recently achieved RIAA gold status. Given that the song never received significant radio airplay, this milestone is a testament to the scope of the group's grassroots popularity.
