Fresh out of a productive pandemic year in which he dropped two projects, KAE Hock looks primed to take a big leap in 2021. His first project in 2020, QuaranTarantino, was released roughly a month into the pandemic, when water was a hot commodity in grocery store isles, like he explains on his song “bottled water” from the aforementioned project, “Ya’ll was the most kool-aid, juice drinkin, muhf******/took a pandemic to get you thinkin’/I used to a quarter mile for it now it feels like its goin’ down when im lookin at this empty water isle’” QuaranTarantino differs from nearly all “quarantine projects” in its relatable content, wholly about the experience of a new father amidst Covid-19, as well as the speed of the projects release, and its versatile sound though all the music was self-produced by KAE Hock in collaboration with his production team of Kazi Jones, Flamez Earl Jonez, Brett Baker, 14 Trak, and Strosity. Keeping the pen true to scribing about our shared experience, he then dropped “PINAW: Peace Is Not America’s Way,” an 8 track EP chronicling the experience and feelings of a Black Man in America during the riots that ensued after the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others. KAE Hock’s pen is definitely flowing, and we are all justified in anticipating what flows from it next!
