The two first linked up last year for the viral hit “Freestyle” (watch video here). “At It Again” is the latest track from Kidd Kenn’s upcoming new EP, GROWN. For Kidd Kenn, who has established his own unique path as an artist, and has created a safe space through his music for himself and his fans, “At It Again” quickly follows the single + video for “Body,” released just weeks ago. To support “Body,” and “At it Again” Kenn played a round of live dates around Memorial Day weekend, including the So What Festival in Arlington, Texas, WeHo Pride in West Hollywood. He’s set to take the stage at Taking Black Pride In Seattle later this month. “Body” and “At It Again” mark the first new music from Kenn since his provocative “B4” (Remix) featuring Saucy Santana (November 2021). The remix was preceded by the classic high energy “Get Lit” (August 2021, featured in EA’s Madden ’22 video game soundtrack). Prior to that came the raw and hard-hitting Problem Child (June), a 6-song EP whose single + video releases spanned nearly a year: “Freestyle,” Kenn’s viral collaboration with Delli Boe (watch video here); “Gold Digger” featuring Dess Dior (watch video here); “Moves” featuring Rico Nasty (which was synced in the Apple Watch Series 6 online ad); and “Good Day.” “Good Day” was featured in last summer’s Target x NY Pride ad, supported by Kidd Kenn’s gala performance at the Youth Pride/NYC Pride virtual festival sponsored by Target. In addition to the City Girls #PussyTalkChallenge), Kenn has received support and co-signs from Grammy®-winning artists Cardi B, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, and Lil Nas X, along with Chance The Rapper, Saweetie, Young M.A, Kehlani and more. The momentum has not let up since Kenn was first brought onstage by Kehlani at the San Francisco Pride Festival in June 2018. Kidd Kenn made BET history when he became the first openly LGBTQAI rapper to perform at the elite 2021 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher, alongside LaKeyah, Toosii and Symba, an influential annual all-star collabo that always draws tens of millions of views. As reported by BET, “Kidd Kenn’s verse during the Hip Hop Awards’ ‘Digital Cypher’ was a crowd favorite, so much so that a snippet of the verse went viral.” Kidd Kenn made headlines when he was selected for GLAAD’s prestigious list of “20 Under 20: Young LGBTQ People Shaping The Future of Media and Activism,” presented by Teen Vogue.

The buzz behind Kidd Kenn has been explosive, with PAPER, Fader, XXL, Hot New Hip Hop, Nylon, Teen Vogue, Office Magazine, Interview Magazine, and other tastemakers all rallying behind the young artist. Nylon called him a “rap phenom,” and Fader dubbed him “Chicago’s Next Teen Sensation.” Summer 2019 saw him perform at multiple virtual Pride festivals including MobiFest, Wynwood Pride, Pride South Side and more. Kidd Kenn’s huge organically grown web following includes over 281,000 Instagram followers, over 2 million video views on YouTube, over 535,000 followers on TikTok, and over 5.8 million likes. Hailing from the South Side of Chicago, Kidd Kenn discovered an unparalleled joy for performance at an early age. His viral freestyle videos quickly gained him local notoriety and an influx of fans online racking up hundreds of thousands of views. With the mission of encouraging young people to be comfortable in their own skin, Kidd Kenn approaches his music with a passion and hunger that cannot be denied. He’s a pioneer in his hometown and pushing the boundaries of hip-hop as we know it. As more and more artists embrace their authentic selves, they will continue to look to Kenn to lead the pack in breaking the mold. His debut mixtape Childish dropped in September 2018, followed by the Child’s Play EP (February 2020), and Problem Child (June 2020). Now 19 years old, Kenn’s buzz continues to grow with tastemaker support and co-signs from Grammy®-winning artists Cardi B, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, and Lil Nas X, along with Chance The Rapper, Saweetie, Kehlani, Young M.A and more. Delli Boe (Windell Lewis) proclaimed himself the “Prince of My Town” in his controversial 2018 debut and never dared to look back. The Sacramento-born artist wasted no time unleashing a flurry of viral sounds, eclectic freestyles, and wonder-inducing moments that continue to spread like wildfire with his popularity and notoriety in tow. A Tik Tok Hall of Famer according to many fans, Delli Boe continues to exceed his internet star pedigree with increasingly impressive and undeniable musical releases and the fanfare to match. His 2021 release “Delbo’s World”, a whimsical dive into a wild world of identity-positive self-expression, continues to rack up streams behind the bubbling summer anthem “IWSS”. Though a force to be reckoned with in his own right, Delli Boe touts a bevy of public support from A-listers and trendsetters including Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, Issa Rae, Saweetie, and others who are more than eager to meet him at the top Art by Ambi Lyrics KEEP UP WITH KIDD KENN: WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | TIK TOK | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | YOUTUBE | SOUNDCLOUD |
