Great grandson of legendary New Orleans jazz drummer Louis Babarin, David "KvngDavid" Paul Baptiste Jr (formally known as C.I.T.Y.) has created his own lane. Before he flooded the airwaves with the revolutionary hip hop single “How The World Turns”, which ran on MTV Jams under the direction of New Orleans film director Korey Jones (KeauxDak Media). KvngDavid also surfaced to the top 12 of 2012 (via dayandadream.com) with the album Death before Dishonor. Perhaps the biggest surge comes from surviving the hurricane Katrina ruination of August 29th 2005. While enrolled at Texas Southern University, others began to recognize KvngDavid's storytelling ability along with his capability to create authentic songs. It was at TSU where he met budding producer Y-influence, and many more influential contributors to his career. KvngDavid has since illuminated the stage with such heavy weights as Erykah Badu, Kendrick Lamar and Rza of the Wu Tang Clan. With several albums, touring performances and a mainstream music video under his belt, it’s hard not to follow and observe what yet another Katrina survivor is still able achieve after emerging from the water that inundated the belly of the beast over a decade ago.
