Our TapSongz Team loves coming across fresh new talent and that's exactly what we were able to accomplish when we found KG. We had the opportunity to interview the up and coming artist to learn more about his path to music, his latest releases, and plans for the new year.
KG is originally from Goldsboro, North Carolina. He certainly didn't start his music career at a young age, but rather this love for the industry grew over time. "I would say I started this pursuit my sophomore year of high school. I would record on a desktop and $20 USB mic," the rising rapper recalls. Growing up, KG was a big fan of hip-hop and loved Lil Wayne, T.I., and Ludacris.
KG has been able to take his inspiration and passion for music and turn it into something. His latest project "Automatic" features Whitt, one of KG's good friends. He recalls finding the beat on YouTube and lyrics hitting him immediately, which led to Whitt cutting the track and putting vocals over the beat. "After a week or two of work, we finally recorded the track (shout out to my bro Love and SMG for the mix and mastering)," KG said. The track turned out great and we encourage you to give it a listen!
As for the future, KG definitely has plans to do local shows, and while he acknowledges a tour would be great he realizes he isn't quite there yet. "I have performed on stage in the past. I was nervous as hell. I even said my verse wrong but the crowd didn't know. I switched a few lines around but it still fit and came out right," the rapper laughed. As for 2019, KG hopes to release a full album and continue to work on his craft. We love the progress the rapping has made in recent months and are excited to see what he can accomplish come 2019.
Overall, KG simply loves music he can vibe with whether it be R&B or hip-hop. We think fans are in for a real treat over the next year so definitely keep your ears peeled for new music! Toss KG a follow on SoundCloud and Twitter to stay up to date with his latest releases! Here at TapSongz, we thank you for reading this feature article as we continue finding tomorrow's greatest music today!
