WHAT IT IS: Known for his signature gruff vocals, lyrical chops and unmatched flow, 19-year-old Bronx native Kay Flock creates music that’s equal parts raw and free-spirited. The drill innovator’s 2021 debut project, The D.O.A. Tape, featured standout tracks including the G Herbo-assisted “Being Honest” and “Is Ya Ready,” the latter named one of The N.Y. Times’ “Best Songs of 2021.” Boasting over 250m streams across his catalog, Flock has earned co-signs from the likes of Cardi B, Lil Tjay, Meek Mill and Fivio Foreign. Most recently, he dropped his Boogie Down Bronx anthem, “Shake It,” a collaboration with Cardi B, Dougie B and Bory300, which has garnered 11m+ video views at presstime.
