Hailing from Boston, Kleo’s poetic lyrics, dreary vocals and ominous production set him apart in the underground rap scene. Kleo’s musical priority is storytelling through emotional expression, whether the theme is sadness, frustration, acceptance, or relentlessness. He released his debut album Battle Damaged in the summer of 2019. In 2021, his sophomore album, 1000 Year Grief, gained the attention of Daily Chiefers and Swidlife for its ominous production and distinct vocal register.
