WHAT IT IS: 18-year-old Kay Flock’s take on drill music is raw and free-spirited. Brimming with energy, the Bronx native delivers an unburdened, electrifying take on his city’s most exciting new sound with his lyrical chops and unmatched flow. Spending the last few years creating music that brings some of the movement’s strongest future stars together, Flock amplifies his own pitching drill as collaborative, energetic and alive. His street-centric raps—captured in tracks like “Brotherly Love” with fellow Bronx MCs B-Lovee and Dougie B, as well as “Not in the Mood” with Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign—demonstrate his unwavering efforts and attention to detail. Flock’s debut mixtape, The D.O.A. Tape, establishes him as an up-and-coming rapper to watch.
