Kidd Ray releases new banger “Gone”

The future of hiphop is here! Kidd Ray brings us a breakup song with a new age bounce titled “Gone”. Listening to “Gone” you’d never guess that this polished artist with the deep consciuos flow and perfect delivery is only 14 years old! Kidd really has a way with words as he speaks on his last relationship and moving on to bigger and better things. He shines the hardest as he harmonizes the hook, singing “Now she hitting up my phone now, hit me on the snap, but she know I’m gone now”. G the Genius delivers an extra wavy, sample influenced beat and rising New Orleans rapper, Daniel Heartless anchors the track with a rough verse. This serves as the new single from Kidd Ray’s upcoming mixtape, "It's Up There" releasing under the GWOP Inc label on 01/13/2017.

From the new generation of hip-hop, emerges 14 year old New Orleans-based rapper Kidd Ray from G.W.O.P. Inc Music Group. Kidd Ray began learning the art of music and developing his own musical style at the age of 7 years old. He was a fan of all Cash Money artists including B.G., Juvenile, etc. and was also heavily inspired and taught by two amazingly talented hip-hop artists; his father Maserati 5ive and BlaXuede. They motivated him to learn his craft and express himself through music which helped him to become a talented writer & rapper.
