A wave of jazz blends with a deep boom bap bassline, laying the groundwork for an undiscovered story. Enter Kai Andrews, an artist on the verge of metamorphosis, armed with melodies that not only communicate but also challenge. His new project, "This is Only Part of the Whole Story," isn't just a mixtape—it's a portal, a disturbing prelude to something far broader and extremely personal.
The title alone grips you, doesn’t it? Like a whisper that urges you to lean in, to search for the missing pieces. Kai describes it as a foundation—a path laid out in fragments. “I’m not ready for a debut album yet,” he admits, but don’t mistake this for hesitation. The project is deliberate, calculated, and brimming with the kind of raw emotion only a soul mid-transformation could craft.
This chapter is centered on "Moon Man III," a music created in conjunction with his longstanding creative partner, KING. Their connection is electrifying, honed over six years of shared challenges and successes. Kai discusses their process: "It feels effortless nowadays..." We trust each other's ideas and go for it." The third edition in the Moon Man series adopts a more serious tone, deviating from the freestyle spirit of its predecessors. This time, the duo painstakingly crafts their story, infusing meaning into every word and sound. But there is more. Much more. One track, provocatively named "A Little Jazz With Love and Hate," teases listeners with an odd, incomplete vibe. Kai concurs: "I wanted to create concern, confusion, and curiosity". The song’s deliberately incomplete middle is a cliffhanger, an audible metaphor for the larger, untold story.

You can’t help but wonder: what comes next? What secrets are buried in the fading echoes of this track? The soundscape of the project is equally captivating—a blend of jazz and hip-hop inspired by Kai’s childhood exposure to his father’s jazz records and the high-energy allure of 90s boom bap. It’s a marriage of two worlds, both soothing and striking. Songs like these aren’t just for casual listening; they demand your full attention. They challenge you to feel, to think, to resonate. And if this is only “part of the whole story,” what lies ahead? Kai promises raw, unfiltered musings—thoughts from moments of solitude, stories of growth, and even whispers of names that inspired the tracks. Are you ready to listen? Because Kai Andrews isn’t just telling his story—he’s inviting you into it.
