“’They hellamad/I’m hellagay,’ said Kidd Kenn boldly before one of several impressive flow switches.” – Rolling Stone

“One unexpected and nonstop highlight of the night was Chicago rapper Kidd Kenn. Born Dontrell Smith, the 18-year-old rhymer bodied the red carpet, sporting an eclectic blue suit with hair to match. Not to mention a face that was beat to perfection.” – BET


“Kidd Kenn Makes History at the BET Hip-Hop Awards.” – PAPER

“After Kenn offers the track’s infectious hook and first verse over a playful beat, Rico comes in with her trademark fiery flow.” – COMPLEX

“Kidd Kenn flows effortlessly with some braggadocios bars. Rico Nasty fits in perfectly as the feature and her autotune sing-rapping makes for a delightful listen.” – HotNewHipHop

(June 17, 2022 – New York, NY)  2022 is turning into a breakout year for  Kidd Kenn, the critically acclaimed 19-year old Chicago hip-hop sensation whose brand new single  “At It Again,” an aptly-titled reunion with Sacramento rapper  Delli Boe, is available today via 4TH & B’WAY | Def Jam Recordings.  The two first linked up last year for the viral hit  "Freestyle"  (watch video here). “At It Again” is the latest track  from  Kidd Kenn’s  upcoming new EP,  GROWN. 

  

For  Kidd Kenn, who has established his own unique path as an artist, and has created a safe space through his music for himself and his fans, “At It Again” quickly follows the single + video for  “Body,” released just weeks ago.  

  

To support  “Body,” and “At it Again” Kenn played a round of live dates around Memorial Day weekend, including the  So What Festival  in Arlington, Texas,  WeHo Pride in West Hollywood. He’s set to take the stage at  Taking Black Pride In Seattle later this month.   

“Body”  and  “At It Again” mark the first new music from  Kenn  since his provocative "B4"(Remix) featuring Saucy Santana (November 2021). The remix was preceded by the classic high energy “Get Lit” (August 2021, featured in EA’s Madden '22  video game  soundtrack).  Prior to that came the raw and hard-hitting  Problem Child  (June), a 6-song EP whose single + video  releases spanned nearly a year: "Freestyle,"  Kenn’s viral collaboration with  Delli Boe  (watch video here); “Gold Digger”  featuring  Dess Dior  (watch video here); “Moves”  featuring  Rico Nasty  (which was synced in the Apple Watch Series 6 online ad); and "Good Day."   

  

“Good Day” was featured in last summer’s Target x NY Pride  ad, supported by Kidd Kenn’s gala performance at the Youth Pride/NYC Pride virtual festival sponsored by Target.  In addition to the  City Girls  #PussyTalkChallenge),  Kenn  has received support and co-signs from Grammy®-winning artists  Cardi B,  Lizzo,  Megan Thee Stallion, and  Lil Nas X, along with  Chance The Rapper,  Saweetie, Young M.A,  Kehlani and more. The momentum has not let up since Kenn was first brought onstage by Kehlani at the San Francisco Pride Festival in June 2018.  

Kidd Kenn made BET history when he became the first openly LGBTQAI rapper to perform at the elite 2021 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher, alongside LaKeyah, Toosii and Symba, an influential annual all-star collabo that always draws tens of millions of views.  As reported by BET, “Kidd Kenn’s verse during the Hip Hop Awards’ ‘Digital Cypher’ was a crowd favorite, so much so that a snippet of the verse went viral.” 

  

Kidd Kenn made headlines when he was selected for GLAAD’s prestigious list of “20 Under 20: Young LGBTQ People Shaping The Future of Media and Activism,” presented by Teen Vogue.  Check it out HERE   He was later nominated for a GLAAD award for “Outstanding Breakthrough Artist.”  Kenn was also included in OUT Magazine’s influential OUT100 List.  Check out that feature HERE.  

The buzz behind Kidd Kenn has been explosive, with PAPER, Fader, XXL, Hot New Hip Hop, Nylon, Teen Vogue, Office Magazine, Interview Magazine, and other tastemakers all rallying behind the young artist.  Nylon called him a “rap phenom,” and Fader dubbed him “Chicago’s Next Teen Sensation.”  Summer 2019 saw him perform at multiple virtual Pride festivals including MobiFest, Wynwood Pride, Pride South Side and more.  Kidd Kenn’s huge organically grown web following includes  over 281,000 Instagram followers,  over 2 million video views on YouTube,  over 535,000 followers on TikTok, and over 5.8 million likes.
