Data Insight
Four of thirteen tracks are Kelly alone. The rest run long credit lists, and the producers include Dr. Luke, Cirkut, Cashmere Cat and Ammo, names from pop rather than R&B. It is the most outsourced-sounding record he made.
The Buffet came out in December 2015 and has sold 140,000 in the United States. Thirteen tracks with Ty Dolla Sign, Jhene Aiko, Juicy J, Lil Wayne, Jeremih and Tinashe featured.
