Since going viral for an impromptu performance at his old high school, Baby Kia has swiftly become the face of the new Atlanta. Alongside 2sdxrt3all, L5 and others, the new brand of Atlanta street rap is punchy, vicious and in-your-face more than ever before — especially when the aggressiveness of the streets can be heard from across the way.
Shouted at full volume, his new project, HELL CAN’T SAVE YOU, is just the latest breakout a fresh-faced Atlanta emcee has experienced over the past 12 months. However, Kia’s brash delivery and stark lyricism paint a picture of vulnerability that’s hard to hear on the surface. Tracks like “BAD SPORT,” “STRAIGHT JACKET” and “RAIN CRASH” bring a new meaning to murder music — you can hear the pain in his voice. If Baby Kia can’t save you from hell, no one can.
Speaking with OGM host Hakeem Rowe about his new record, Baby Kia stopped by chop it up about his come-up, top five rappers, DMX, his new album, going viral, being parodied by Druski and much more in this Our Generation Music exclusive interview.
