02About

Alright, so boom.

I'm Kai — a rapper, producer, and DJ from the Bay. I make the kind of music I'd want playing with the windows down: West Coast hip-hop, old school and new, with a whole lot of funk, jazz, and soul folded in.

I'm also part of INDIGO, and I've been lucky enough to share stages with people I grew up listening to — GZA, Slick Rick, The Pharcyde, Planet Asia, Goodie Mob. Still kinda wild to type that out.

This year I put out my album Excursions and the GROOVY AVENUE EP. New here? Start with either one.

“Kai The MC delivers a debut that introduces not just his sound, but his perspective [that’s] grounded, intentional, and built for long-term growth.”
— alanna, HipHopSince1987
