BRONX, N.Y. – At just 23 years old, rising artist Kxngdom is forging a new path in New York’s music scene, stepping away from the city’s gritty drill sound and carving out his own lane with melodic and pop-infused records.
The Bronx native, who has been steadily grinding through the ups and downs of the industry, says his journey is more than just about music — it’s about survival, resilience, and crafting a sound that reflects growth. “In a city filled with violence, I’m making an effort to escape and just work on my craft,” Kxngdom said.
One of his career highlights came in 2023 when he performed at the Ghana Awards, showcasing his ability to reach audiences far beyond New York. Recently, he released two singles, Island Girl and Why U Mad, offering fans a glimpse of his evolving artistry. These singles build anticipation for his debut album, Listen to the Reaper, a project that promises to reflect both his struggles and his determination.
While the journey hasn’t been easy, Kxngdom has turned his challenges into fuel. He has battled anxiety, at times relying on drugs for relief, but increasingly uses music as a healthier outlet and a way to rise above the harsh environment around him. “Music became my substitute, my escape,” he explained.
Looking ahead, Kxngdom sees himself on global stages, collaborating with artists across genres, and building a career with longevity. His next single, Wasted, is set to drop in September 2025, further establishing him as a voice of versatility and persistence.
