About Clyde kelly
Clyde Kelly is a shy guy with a lot of gravity. He’s a lifetime student and creator of music, with a keen ear for melodic raps. OutKast, The-Dream, KiD CuDi, and Chance the Rapper are among his primary influences.
Hailing from Sanford, NC, he grew up singing in church choir and listening to Kanye West. In school, he spent his free time freestyling and writing poetry until his passion for music evolved from hobby to full time obsession. He signed to indie label Halliburton Productions in early 2015 and moved to Los Angeles, CA to develop his sound. He wrote 100+ tracks over 18 months as potential cuts for his debut project, Not Rich Yet.
While his songs fit most neatly in the category of hip-hop, he rails against categorization, adopting the moniker “genre killer.” His hooks are infectious but not quite pop, and his verses are sung in classic southern rap flows. His shallow drawl could almost go unnoticed, but for the occasional slurred vowel.
He released his debut LP on Nov. 1, 2016, and quickly caught traction. With no major label support, he has racked up over 75 thousand monthly listeners on Spotify alone. His single “Magic,” a collaboration with dirty south producer Kountdown, organically landed on two staple Spotify playlists, Discover Weekly and Hip-Hop Central.
With coverage on DJBooth.net, HipHopDX.com, SOHH.com, YouHeardThatNew.com,
and The Wharton Journal, his numbers are growing daily.
Already in the studio working on his next EP, CK has never been short on drive or business savvy. His album, Not Rich Yet, divulged not only a deep self-awareness and self- confidence, but a ruthless work ethic. That coupled with his creative and strategic thoughtfulness will make him a musical force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
