Kidd G
The 17-year-old, who hails from Hamilton, Ga., began writing his own Juice WRLD-inspired rap songs around age 16 and building a fanbase by posting tunes to SoundCloud and clips on TikTok. Last spring, he was signed by Miami-based label and management company Rebel Music and by October Kidd G had gone country with the single “Dirt Road.” The single hit No. 40 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart “strictly off of streams, an anomaly for that chart, which favors radio hits,” according to the New York Times – which describes Kidd G as “country music’s next emo-rap star.”
Kidd G’s debut EP, Teenage Dream, was released in November and hit No. 3 on Billboard Heatseakers Album chart. He’s earned a spot on Amazon Music’s ‘Country Heat’ and Spotify’s ‘Hot Country’ playlists and was named to Spotify’s 2021 “Hot Country Artists To Watch” list. His fanbase boasts more than 1.5 monthly Spotify listeners and nearly one million TikTok followers.
Geffen signed Kidd G through a partnership with Rebel Music, according to the Times, and the two companies have now teamed up with Big Machine Label Group’s Valory Music Co. imprint to continue promoting the artist, Billboard reported May 6.
“He’s got this tone that is very Juice WRLD, Post Malone. But then he can turn on his country twang and he becomes like country Juice WRLD,” songwriter and producer Bonnie Dymond told the Times.
The artist is managed by LJ Stoll at Se Lavi Productions and Stan Gabart at Rebel Lavi Music.
He’s working on his debut full-length album coming out this summer.
