Solo hip-hop artist “Kavy,†has been making music since age 11. Desiring to contribute to the more “realistic†side of hip-hop, many of his lyrics emerge from struggles within the work force, social separations, race issues and different aspects of society. Kavy’s music is very different from other hip-hop artists, because it relates to others on a general level. The style and lyrics represent everyday life, making money, bling and women exclusions, and instead, making music for all genres and people to listen and relate to.Kavy’s influences range from the soulful singing voice of his mother, to Kurupt, Gnarls Barkley, The Jokerr and Big L. His extremely influential music is utilized as an outlet for his emotions; an outlet Kavy strongly feels a need to bring to audiences everywhere, in order to convey emotions among society.Kavy has performed with artists such as Apollo (unsigned hype in the Source Magazine) and The Jokerr. His debut album; “The Last Attempt,†was recorded at The Jokerr’s Lair Studios, and has been making noise with it’s humorous, yet blatantly true single, “Stereotype.â€For a record company, Kavy is definitely a sound investment, not only because of his music, but also because of other attributes, such as his performances. Kavy always gives 110% during his shows, interacting with the crowd, jumping off stage, and moving around the venue. He’s been described as, “a sight to see!†The crowd is bound to remember his energy, catchy songs, and easy-going demeanor.In the future, Kavy wants to be known mostly for evoking emotion through his music, but also holds aspirations of owning his own record label, where he’ll represent other artists who care about the same issues as he does. Already making a mark in doing so, Kavy’s landed himself on local hip-hop station, Power 98.3 where he was featured on “Friday Night Flavas,†both in 2006 for their 6th anniversary, and more recently, in 2007 where he ripped a freestyle you can catch on his website, www.myspace.com/kkkavy. In addition to that, he’s also been featured in MYFM in 2006, and XPOZ Magazine’s February 2007 issue, noted as being the next up and coming artist.Kavy is more than just a rapper who spits conscious rhymes; he’s a real person with real struggles. He’s not afraid to voice the ills in society, and doesn’t hide behind the luxurious lifestyle, or claim to be anything he’s not. For these reasons alone, Kavy is a true lyricist complete with all the makings, and more importantly, the passion, to make a difference.
