Q.1 Aidan and Leonardo, thank you for your time! Could you please introduce yourselves to our audience and give us a little background on how CATDADDY came to be?
Leo – “Aidan and I have known each other since elementary to High school. Our friendship formed through our first collaboration ‘Apples’ in 2021. We really enjoyed the process of creating together. They shared, applied and understood how to work through the good and bad ideas. We decided that we make a great team, and our characters compliment the other. Our shared love for funky music allows us to find that common ground to combine both of our interests into the Funky Fusion that is our music.”
Q.2 Please share with us some of CATDADDY’s main musical influences?
Aidan – “There are different sounds and elements you’ll hear from many decades of music. It’s familiar, but fresh. I think that we mirror sounds from the 80’s till today. Artists like Hall and Oates, Parcels, Daft Punk, Silk Sonic all inform our process.”
Q.3 In terms of production, what aspects of “SUPERPOWER” are you most proud of, and how did those aspects contribute to the overall sonic quality of the track?
Aidan – ‘We brought back Armando Baeza who did the drums for our past two singles, and he created something punchy that rolls along nicely with Leo’s bass line.” LEO – “Our production decisions were inspired by Rick Rubin’s approach of ‘less is more’ in a video of him working with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With that in mind we tried not to overproduce SUPERPOWER by keeping it simple – guitar, bass and drums.’
Q.4 Is there a particular ethos or any sentiment behind this single? There’s a clear, inspirational message of embracing your inner superpower… What events inspired this?
Aidan – ‘I wrote the lyrics for SUPERPOWER. Songwriting has always been a form of therapy for me. ‘Superpower’ represents your freedom, your self-love and respect. When we give away too much of ourselves to others, we’re left depleted and incapable of showing up as our best selves every day. This song helps people find the courage to show up for themselves the way I did.’
Q.5 Please take us behind the scenes of your journey as you created this project as a whole?
‘SUPERPOWER is the third track on our CATDADDY EP! It was truly a blast creating this record. We were giddy the whole time. We recorded everything in our home studios, and Armando sent us his drum tracks from his studio in Nashville. The record was mastered by Stockholm Mastering.’
Q.6 How would you compare “SUPERPOWER” to CATDADDY’s previous work? Did you notice any evolution, improvements, or new directions in style?
‘I think that writing this song helped us find our voice and we now understand where we want to go next with our music. In terms of the whole project, all the songs are so different and shows that we can do it all as long as we stay true to ourselves in the writing process.’
Q.7 Do you have any specific aspects, lines, and or phrases of the song that you would like to talk more on? Any deeper meanings or fun inside information you can give us?
“Oh my, such a tough guy. Do you really think you’re stronger if you never cry?” I think that line challenges our emotional awareness and maturity. It invites you to be introspective, open, and available to ourselves. We have a running theme throughout a lot of our lyrics, and that is discovering the light in the darkness.
Q.8 Can you share with us a standout moment in your musical career? Have there been any surprises along your journey… any high points, and, in contrast, any difficult moments?
‘We were fortunate to work with Matias Bylund who put an incredible horns section on our debut single. Matias has worked with such notable figures as Justin Timberlake and The Weeknd. Getting to work with him was a huge honor!’

recent leak of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “Living So Italian” brings back the legendary Watch the Throne mystery.
One of the most longed unreleased tracks from the album era is Watch the Throne, and 15 years after Kanye West and Jay-Z dropped it, it has reappeared online. Another fleeting peek of a long untouchable song: a new nine-second clip of “Living So Italian” is rumored to have leaked.
Beyond the officially released material, Watch The Throne is also long linked to unreleased songs that have become highly sought-after among fans. “Living So Italian” is one of those songs that has had bits and pieces emerge online over the years, but never the full song.
Even in that short clip, the snippet adds another piece to the long-running mystery around the track. The production has a lavish European feel, which suits the song’s title and the material associated with West during the Watch The Throne era.

The possibility of hearing Jay-Z alongside West on the full production has also added to the track’s appeal. The two artists have since fallen out, and a collaboration between them is unlikely. Their official collaboration “Jail” has been described as possibly their last, adding another layer of suspense to older material from their collaborative period.
The new snippet also raises a bigger question of what unreleased material from the Watch The Throne era could still be out there. “Living So Italian” is one of many unreleased songs from that period, and many of those recordings may never be heard.
But for now, fans have another nine seconds to wait instead of the whole track. Yet the emergence of a new snippet after years of leaks and rumors shows that the Watch The Throne vault still has material that can garner attention long after the album’s original release.

DJ Khaled’s Top 5 Rappers List Causes Controversy After Leaving Out Drake
DJ Khaled sparked conversation amongst hip hop fans when he excluded Drake from a recent list of his favorite rappers. Given the pair’s increasingly weakened relationship, it was bound to be a talking point.
Khaled was in view of fans over the weekend, and they asked him on camera to name his top five rappers. Khaled didn’t name Drake, who would have been his first choice in the past , instead he named Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross.
The list actually had six artists, not five, but Drake’s absence was the main talking point.
The situation gets more interesting because Khaled and Drake reportedly haven’t been on the best of terms in recent years. Khaled was once going to have two Drake features on an album that was supposed to drop a couple of years ago. But comments made during the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef contributed to the icy relationship between Khaled and Drake.
Drake later made a pointed comment suggesting he won’t appear on Khaled’s upcoming album. Khaled has not publicly responded, and two years later the project still hasn’t materialized.
But there is an alternative explanation. Khaled may have just been listing six artists he thinks are some of his favorite rappers. The moment itself doesn’t confirm that anything on the list was meant as a message to Drake. But reactions on social media suggest many fans are reading more into the omission. Given Khaled’s previous connection to Drake and the long history of his delayed album, the rapper’s absence has understandably become a major topic of discussion.
It’s unclear if Khaled and Drake will ever get past their differences. Drake’s relationships with the artists from the 2024 battle also remain a topic of conversation, with Future allegedly the only artist from that feud he seems to be on good terms with again. For Khaled, the bigger question might be when his long-delayed album will finally drop. For now, his surprise top-rappers list has given fans another reason to think about their relationship with Drake.
