Rising New Jersey artist Kiamo continues to build a powerful movement rooted in authenticity, community, and real storytelling. Fresh off a personal co-sign from King Combs—who reached out and called Kiamo’s music “dope” and expressed interest in working with him—Kiamo is gearing up for a major run in 2025.
The Passaic native is currently locking in on his debut album, a carefully crafted body of work that’s fully produced by two standout producers: SHAHiD13 and Jordan Wade.
SHAHiD13, a seasoned producer and DJ from Paterson, New Jersey, brings over a decade of experience to the project. His sound is rooted in the culture of Jersey, but his reach is global—having DJ’d throughout New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, and more. Known for his gritty drums, soulful samples, and musical versatility, SHAHiD13 helps anchor the emotional weight and sonic depth of Kiamo’s upcoming album.
Jordan Wade, born and raised in Passaic, New Jersey, complements the duo with a more introspective and melodic touch. “Music has always been a big part of my life. Every day I’m inspired to create something new,” Wade says. His style blends classic soul influences with modern textures, giving Kiamo the perfect canvas to tell his story.
Before the full album drops, Kiamo is releasing a new project titled “Remember Me at 16” on April 22nd. Inspired by his mindset at age 16, the project reflects a time when Kiamo moved freely, driven by raw ambition, curiosity, and hunger. “It’s about when I was 16 and thinking freely,” he says. “Before the weight of the world really hit.”
This release will serve as a bridge between “A Malcolm Story”—his last album—and the highly anticipated debut album. While “A Malcolm Story” introduced fans to his roots and resilience, “Remember Me at 16” zooms in on a younger, more fearless version of Kiamo, setting the stage for what’s to come.
With major industry co-signs, a hyper-local production team, and a story that resonates beyond city lines, Kiamo is positioning himself as a powerful new voice out of New Jersey. And as always, he stays true to his mission: representing his city, empowering his people, and telling stories that matter.
April 22nd, it begins again. And this time, we remember who he was—so we can see who he’s about to become.
