KAI FORTYFIVE, It doesn’t matter what you know him for, rapping or producing, you just need to know that KAI FORTYFIVE’S name carries weight wherever he goes. The Elmont, NY native is a one stop shop, handling the production, mixing, mastering, and creative direction of his work while still finding time to produce for others in the underground scene. KAI is known for his unique voice, potent lyrics and off kilter delivery. Whether rapping over grimy boom bap instrumentals or sweet soul loops, KAI FORTYFIVE always performs at a high level. His sound is gritty yet smooth, his lyrics are honest and believable, and he makes music that is reminiscent of a time when people rapped to say something rather than to emulate something. KAI paints his listeners a picture of his life story with vivid imagery and detail. His style is very “I-said-what-I-said” and you can either love or hate him for that. Expect a big year from KAI FORTYFIVE and follow him on Instagram and Twitter @kaifortyfive
