KG, hailing from Marietta, GA, is a rapper who’s not just in the game to make music, but to tell stories that resonate deeply with his audience. His journey into rap began in the high school locker rooms, where casual freestyles with friends turned into a serious passion. “Everyone used to tell me that I was actually good,” he recalls, crediting J. Cole’s *Sideline Story* as a pivotal inspiration that pushed him to pursue music seriously.

But KG’s rise wasn’t without its challenges. His first studio session, although awkward and full of missteps, was a crucial learning experience that shaped his approach to creating music. Over time, his sound has evolved into something more soulful and reflective—a style he’s proud to say even his mom would appreciate.

KG draws inspiration from life’s ups and downs, channeling his experiences into lyrics that speak to the struggles and triumphs of everyday life. “There is strength in vulnerability,” he says, emphasizing the importance of confronting challenges head-on, rather than avoiding them. He aspires to bring back “real rap” to the forefront, the kind that doesn’t just entertain but also uplifts and inspires.

Since beginning his rap career in 2022, KG’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. His music has gained significant traction over the past year, positioning him as a rising force in the industry, poised to make a major impact. KG’s unwavering commitment to staying true to himself, both in life and in his music, perfectly embodies the Grandoer message. His authenticity and dedication are what set him apart, making him a name to watch as he continues to elevate his craft.

KG’s advice to aspiring rappers is simple but powerful: “Be yourself and keep going, even when you don’t see the results right away. It’s a beautiful struggle.” His music is a testament to this mindset, offering a raw, unfiltered look at life’s complexities while reminding his audience that they’re never alone in their journey.​

 

His latest work includes the 2023 EP Church in the Summer (a personal favorite), the single All 10, and the most recent 2024 release, Behind Her Smile. With each project, KG’s talent grows exponentially. You can feel the raw emotion in every line as he weaves personal stories with a compelling depth, often punctuating his verses with "real life" to remind listeners of his authenticity. His journey since starting just a few years ago has been nothing short of inspiring, and as he takes steps to expand his reach through social media, there’s little doubt his work ethic, storytelling ability, and versatility will continue to draw in a loyal fanbase that resonates with his sound.
