Baauer Taps M.I.A., Pusha T, Future for Debut Album ‘Aa’
Baauer has tapped an array of guests, including M.I.A., Future, Pusha T and Rustie, for his debut album, Aa (pronounced “double a”), which arrives March 18th via LuckyMe.
The DJ/producer debuted a new track, “Day Ones” on the The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Wednesday. The performance found Baauer helming the guttural trap banger from his laptop on the guest couch, while New York MC Leikeli47 scorched the stage with a dexterous, fast-tongued performance on the mic (the studio version of “Day Ones” will also feature budding rapper Novelist).
The 13-track Aa will also feature appearances from K-pop star G-Dragon, U.K. vocalist Tirzah and Baltimore rapper TT The Artist. The album is available for pre-order on iTunes and comes with an instant download of “Day Ones” and the previously released “GoGo!” A complete track list is below.
Aa arrives four years after Baauer broke out with “Harlem Shake,” an underground hit that morphed into a viral sensation. In 2014, he released the four-track EP, ß, which boasted the single, “One Touch,” featuring AlunaGeorge and Rae Sremmurd.
Baauer has two festival dates lined up in the coming months: a performance on the EDM cruise Holy Ship in February followed by a set at the Buku Festival New Orleans on March 11th.
