About K.Carter

I fell in love with hip hop

after I bought my first DMX album: “Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood.” The passion behind his lyrics and narrative resonated with me. I could visualize the story behind his words. From there, my inspiration progressed through artists like Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco, and Kendrick Lamar.

That’s when I really started rapping.

I thought the first song I recorded in Tallahassee, FL was trash, and wasn’t sure rapping was something I wanted to keep doing. After a poetry slam in Miami, I became fixated on the storytelling, the community, and the poets’ ability to convey an emotion to everyone in a room. My friend who took me there was a poet himself and taught me how to be a better lyricist. I wanted to craft words to send a message; to make a point just like those poets did. That’s what convinced me that this was something I wanted to keep doing.

I make music because

From the beginning, I’ve wanted to make others feel the way I felt when I listened to my favorite rappers and poets. When I hear that my lyrics made someone feel inspired about their life or even just their day, it all becomes worth it.
