Hard to put this one in a box, but one thing’s for sure - Chicago’s Kaicrewsade carries the fire.
His new single, “AHHHH***” is an exceptional blend of jazz, soul, and hip hop, driven by thoughtful lyricism and an instinct for experimentation, into a sound that refuses to sit tight.
Kai’s (as his friends call him) musical journey was shaped early on by his exposure to jazz, and you can hear that influence almost immediately when diving into his work. There is a genuine love for the genre and for live instrumentation running through his music, but what makes it interesting is how effortlessly he folds in other influences to create something that feels entirely his own. The result is a rich, deeply expressive sound that feels rooted in jazz while reaching far beyond it.
