Karpenters, the latest album from Kool Keith, produced by Grant Shapiro, stays true to the essence of Hip-Hop: boom bap beats, clever samples, and heavyweight guest features.

The album boasts mixing by J-Styles (Keith's in-house engineer) and mastering by Grammy winner Steve "Steve B" Baughman, ensuring top-tier sound quality. Leading the charge is the official music video for "Super Hits," directed by Wayne Campbell-known for his work on Kool Keith's Love Infringement and videos for artists like Benny The Butcher. With executive production by Kool Keith and distinctive, hard-hitting beats from Grant Shapiro, Karpenters is a project fans have been craving-raw, authentic, and unforgettable.
