Pasadena, CA – June 3, 2025 – Rising rapper, producer, and visionary Kenan Bell is making waves with the release of his ambitious new album, “people just be saying stuff”, a fearless 12-track project that arrived June 3rd on all digital platforms. With razor-sharp lyricism, daring production, and unflinching social commentary, Bell has delivered a body of work that is already earning recognition among tastemakers, underground hip-hop fans, and critics alike.
Hailing from Pasadena, California, Bell has built a reputation for his ability to merge intellectual depth with gritty West Coast energy, creating music that is as thought-provoking as it is sonically adventurous. His new project isn’t just another album—it’s a statement. “people just be saying stuff” holds up a mirror to the complexities of modern culture, cutting through noise, misinformation, and clout-driven narratives with clarity and conviction.
One of the album’s most powerful moments comes with “The Blacks”, a commanding track that speaks directly to themes of Black identity, cultural pride, and resilience. Accompanied by a compelling visual, the song challenges stereotypes while celebrating heritage, standing as both an anthem and a conversation starter. “It’s not just a song—it’s a statement,” Bell explains. “The Blacks was made to affirm our greatness, not question it.”
The album’s tracklist showcases Bell’s wide-ranging artistry, weaving together sounds from lo-fi textures and boom-bap rhythms to avant-garde soundscapes, all self-produced to maintain his uncompromising creative vision. Each track—from the introspective “Morning” to the thought-provoking “Connect The Dots”, to the heartfelt “Your Love”—offers a different dimension of Bell’s artistry, proving that he is as versatile as he is fearless.
