WHAT IT IS: Dro Kenji’s rise is a testament to the power of the Internet. Last year, the 19-year-old artist was a high school senior in South Carolina who’d posted a string of releases on his SoundCloud. Now, as the latest signee on Internet Money/10K Projects’ rosters, Kenji is collaborating with the label’s team of heavy-hitter producers to showcase his distinctive melodies and versatile songwriting as he tackles emotionally charged topics. A child of the digital age, raised on video games and the sounds of rap’s online underground, Kenji has a remarkable ability to capture both the apathy and aspirations of his generation.
