Take A Daytrip (Lil Nas X, Juice WRLD) give us an inside look into their sessions

Take A Daytrip is a hip hop production duo consisting of members David Biral and Denzel Baptiste.

They’ve come a long way from their beginnings collaborating in college, garnering credits on tracks by various hip hop heavyweights including the likes of Lil Nas X, Juice WRLD, Sheck Wes, and 6LACK. This year, Take A Daytrip is nominated for a whopping four GRAMMY awards, in the categories “Album of the Year” (for Lil Nas X’s 7 EP), “Best Rap Album” (for YBN Cordae’s The Lost Boy), “Best Rap / Sung Performance” (for Lil Nas X’s “Panini”), and “Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media” (for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse“).

In celebration of the release of their new sample pack, the two sat down with us above to discuss the GRAMMYs and how they produced some of their biggest hits including Cordae’s “Kung Fu” and Lil Nas X and Cardi B’s “Rodeo.”
