Lou Phelps & KAYTRANADA Bring the Energy on “WHAT NOW”

Lou Phelps is stepping back into the spotlight, and he’s doing it in a big way. The Haitian-Canadian rapper just dropped WHAT NOW, a KAYTRANADA-produced banger that marks the first official single from his upcoming debut album, Chèlbè, set to drop on April 4. After last year’s Lifestyle Freestyle, Phelps is ready to level up, and he’s making bold claims about his direction. “Rap is predictable in my opinion,” he said. “I’m creating a new sound with rap-house.” With KAYTRANADA’s signature bounce backing him, it’s clear Phelps is on to something. The beat is infectious, the energy is high, and the track has that rare versatility—it’s just as fitting for the club as it is for a late-night drive. With Chèlbè on the way, WHAT NOW is a strong statement. Lou Phelps is back, and if this track is any indication, he’s about to shake things up.
