KIDD WES

Hip Hop artist Kidd Wes visits The Block to fill us in on more of his recent release “Young World” a project with diverse thoughts from an artist. Coming with an open mind and a lot to express Kidd Wes gives a taste of funk, trap, love and reality in each track, building it in a time frame of a week talk about DEDICATION. As we experience 15 tracks with dope beats and features from talent like A Fly Guy, Jovie, Anom The Super Producer, King Docious, Yung Trap, GhostWridah, Cashe, and many more we can reflect how this artist is willing to unite with other talent to bring something out of this world. Young World has something for everyone who takes a listen as Kidd Wes wants to bring a positive outlook to our community especially with the youth as each purchase of the project on iTunes all the proceeds will go to the BackPack Foundation which will help all the youth on their Back-To- School supplies. Make sure you download “Young World” and check out what Kidd Wes had to say about his project and our Hip Hop Community!

Peep It!

JoJo Fabs: Let us know who Kidd Wes is and who is he in the Hip Hop scene?

Kidd Wes: Kidd Wes is each and every one of us, when minds are open. In the Hip Hop scene I am a rebel encouraging others to break barriers any way they can.

JoJo Fabs: Influences carry a lot in the craft, what are your major influences when you’re writing/recording your music?

Kidd Wes: For me it really depends on the atmosphere. I really try to record everything from emotion since I don’t write. It can be a number of different things: First the beat, next could be the people I’m working with, and maybe a little Hennessy wouldn’t hurt either (laughs).

JoJo Fabs: You recent project “Young World” is a diversity of many tastes How did this project come about and how can the listeners relate?

Kidd Wes: The project was random really. It took me about a week to complete. I was working on my album, but decided to take a different route and put out free music, which essentially turned into Youngworld. I believe the people can relate to this album, because for every genre of hip-hop there is something for everyone with a message in between. So if you’re fan of conscious, trap, love, etc. There is something in mind for you.



JoJo Fabs: Now this question might be out of random but if you were to do a performance in front of a crowd that has never heard your music how would you present yourself to them?

Kidd Wes: Probably in the crowd, or close to them as possible (laughs), I consider my shows a conversation. So at the end of the performance you leave with a friend and not a fan.

JoJo Fabs: Hip Hop grows every day and you come across new artist constantly how did you find this genre to be the one you master?

Kidd Wes: When I was in middle school, I rapped so I wouldn’t get picked on, but from the first rhyme people told me I should take it serious, and so I did, and made it a passion. I lived it, studied it, and became it to master it.

JoJo Fabs: We live in a community were youth looks up to the music industry how do you feel our music can reflect to youth?

Kidd Wes: I’m not a conscious type of guy, but aside from all fun I have on my records, I do try to leave a bit of morality on my projects. I am responsible for what I say and since the youth are listening I really try to leave them on a positive but real outlook on my music.

JoJo Fabs: What other projects do you have in store after “Young World” any locations where we can catch a live performance?

Young World is a return to the most basic principles of hip-hop, the art of storytelling and lyricism with a backdrop of lush/boom bap productions. Wes doesn't invent a new genre here, but what he does, he does better than most. The album's first single, "Pause” is a typical braggadocio hip-hop cut, where Wes notifies listeners of the line between run-of-the-mill rappers and himself.

On other standouts, like “Memoirs of a Gold Chain,” Wes rhymes about his frustrations with past friends who fell short of the goal right at the finish line. “They know who they are,” he laughs. “Tell Me,” featuring Miami's singer-songwriter Jovie, is a woeful duet that about love and heart break. - Altsounds.com
