Driving about Sacramento with the windows down and speakers blaring with her dad and older brother was where Kayla AK‘s love for hip-hop began. Back then, listening to Tupac, N.W.A., among others, she was chasing a feeling. Lyrics that hit the chest and rhythms that carried pain and pride along with memories.
A Sound Utilizing Real Life Experiences
Kayla AK employed song as a method to process life and discuss what has happened in a meaningful way for others. There is depth of experience in every detail of her songs.
“I don’t write fairytales, I write what I know,” says Kayla.
It is this realness that is being noticed. From rapping about real life to projecting confidence, Kayla AK brings what’s becoming increasingly scarce in the industry.
“I Got It”: Taking Steps Forward
Released on the 13th of May, Kayla AK’s newest single “I Got It” is the dawn of a new day. Smooth yet not punchy, the newly crafted track was made with finesse and delivered clearly as day. The song is proof of the maturity of an artist who has honed her pen and discovered her voice. “I Got It” is about proving herself right.
From the Passenger Seat to the Driver’s Seat
It started in the back of a car, singing old-school melodies and analyzing rhymes. Those times evolved into a full-time career as Kayla AK is no longer riding shotgun; she’s in the driver seat, steering her own creative path.
Hip-hop has always been about truth. About taking pain and making it poetry, taking pressure and making it power. And continuing in that tradition, Kayla AK is not only carrying the torch but lighting it even more brightly. From studio lights to rides in cars, her journey has only begun.
