Written by Jenifer Abrefa | HipHopSince1987
From concrete walls to recording booths, Kyle The Rolex is living proof that the comeback hits harder than the setback.
After serving 14 years behind bars, the Los Angeles native is stepping into the spotlight with a fire that can’t be ignored. Now based in Atlanta, Kyle’s story isn’t just about freedom—it’s about transformation. At 30 years old, he’s walking out of prison with more than just bars—he’s got vision, discipline, and a hunger to build something that lasts.
“I’ve been locked up longer than some artists have been rapping,” Kyle says in our exclusive sit-down. “I didn’t waste that time—I studied the game, sharpened my skills, and stayed focused. Now it’s my turn.”
And the industry is starting to pay attention.
Kyle has officially linked with Kavon Jacobs—A&R at Alamo Records and a major executive for the Southeast region working in partnership with Papermaker Entertainment. Kavon is more than just a co-sign—he’s taking on management duties and backing Kyle with resources, mentorship, and full belief in his potential.
“Kyle is one of the rawest talents I’ve ever seen,” says Kavon. “His energy, his vision, and his story—this is what the game needs right now.”
But Kyle isn’t just chasing fame. He’s building a legacy.
His goal? Launch his own record label, sign fresh talent, and step into the producer lane to collaborate with some of the industry’s top names. His dream list includes Future, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Zaytoven, J. Cole, DJ Khaled, and rising star Paper Flow.
From the outside looking in, it might seem like an uphill battle. But from where Kyle’s standing, it’s already in motion.
“I’m not chasing a second chance—I am the second chance,” he says confidently. “The world doesn’t owe me anything, but I’ve got everything to give.”
And with Kavon Jacobs in his corner, a city that thrives off innovation, and a pen full of pain and purpose, Kyle The Rolex is ready for what’s next.
14 years later… and he’s just getting started.
