heykidkie's Unique Sound: A New Era of Underground Rap

In today's episode we introduce you an upcoming artist from Meridian Idaho : heykidkie !

We interviewed him few days ago :

"I’m Kai Young, aka heykidkie. I started making music in late 2017, taking inspiration from Logic. My first official release was in 2018 on soundcloud.

I started making rap simply because I enjoy the craft behind it, discovering flows and creating lines etc. Artists like Logic, Wifisfuneral, and TechN9ne were big inspirations for my style, but overtime I adopted the newer, “spacey aesthetic” sound, with inspiration from other artists like Pierre Bourne, A$ap Ant, Young Nudy, and Chavo.

This combined with the more lyrical inspirations of the past helped me create a unique sound, something I’m trying to coin as the “sound of Boise Idaho” Being that I was born and raised in Idaho, I want to show the world that we can have our own sound."

heykidkie is truly an artist apart from others in the rap scene, and that's why you should follow him !

Apart from being an artist apart, heykidkie is a really nice person and we hope to work together for a while more, this is only the beginning of his rise!

Have a nice week and see you in the next episode !
