Kid Static

fat beats for days

About Me

some video:
two new tracks up off of an album i been working on for the past 9 months with chicago based producer Yea Big entitled "Yea Big + Kid Static." creative right? its slated to come out later this year if everything goes as planned. but we're still figuring that out.
get "That Ain't Me" as a ringtone
i got copies of "Have You Seen This Man?" for anyone who wants them. you can purchase at:
iTunes
Heavy Medium
CD Baby
stickers:
Other than that, i'm a black man. 24 years old. From the Chi.
A lot of people say, nothing substantial as far as hip hop goes, comes out the Midwest. I'm trying to change that. Who knows, maybe including me, nothing substantial is still coming out the Midwest (insert cheesy laugh track). But like my grandmammy always said "you gots to try . . . now help gramma into her orthopedic bra".
this project was started a little over 2 years ago. before that i was writing jungle tracks and emceein over them. you can hear some of those at Anodyne Records under Static Messenger. I'm still writing jungle, always, but I'm just concentrating a little more on this right now.
i been writing music since i was 12 when i used to MIDI sequence out shit like the theme to Beverly Hills Cop and Duran Duran tracks.
you can see pictures from shows at: ITS THAT FLICKR SON! .
I'm telling you, I start rapping, people start taking clothes off, i don't know why.
I'm a producer first and foremost. And like probably every producer out there I got performance aspirations. My beats will always be a little tighter than my rhymes because they have like a 8 year head start. Let me know. I welcome all criticism, whether negative or positive
"the softer side of kid static"
shows:
my other projects include:
Yea Big + Kid Static
and now a word from our sponsors:

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/7/2004
Band Website: kidstatic.com
Band Members:
Influences: i listen to all kinds of music. i used to say not country but i usually find myself listening to that too.

i play piano and drums so i like writing beats with heavy percussion and a lot of melody. a lot of the beats out there right now are skimpy, they have no thickness to em. all you get is a hand clap, some phat bass kick, and a weird sound after every 2 bars.

fuck that shit, i want to hear some shit that, even with no vocals on it, you can groove to it. so lets do it.
Sounds Like:
Record Label: Anodyne Electric Company
Type of Label: None
