What Is K3rby Hip Hop And Exactly What Establishes It Aside From The Other

By Jose Nelson


With the plethora of SoundCloud rappers and artists these days, almost anybody can become an underground sensation and gain fame for their work. However, the ease of fame and success means that the industry has become highly saturated and because of this, some talents are easy to ignore and will simply fade out of the spotlight as easy as they came to be known. This presents a challenge that comes along with short lived internet fame and the struggle to get the appreciation and recognition that some of these works and artists deserve.

Despite all this, some artists are capable of maintaining their longevity and that is done by establishing a firm online presence and continuing to shelve out their works on various online platforms for fans and aficionados to listen to on a consistent level. For instance, there exists K3rby hip hop and his unique take on this genre of music, which have garnered the attention and following of appreciators and critics alike. To learn more about this and how the concept came to be, this article will discuss the genre and what sets it apart from the rest.

It was in September of 2007 when SoundCloud was created and released to the masses by the duo Alexander Ljung and Eric Wahlforss, who are the founders of this company. Their aim was to create a new platform for registered users to record new tracks, upload their original content, promote their original songs, and share it to other people and users that might enjoy it. Since then, the company has garnered much recognition and is being utilized by various artists across the globe.

This makes it a mainstay tool and application for artists like K3rby that finds the user interface and features it provides highly effective and easy to utilize. Known to society as Kerbert Martinez, this young talent was born and raised in New York in 1994. His passion in music was ignited by his singing career that started by belting out religious songs in church at the age of five. Continuing his performances until the age of 15, it would leave the young talent hungry for more and ignite his passion to create original content.

That passion lit up a flame that continues to shine brightly today, most evident in the content he creates and with his newly released album appropriately titled Twenty Two. It contains several tracks including the song 22, Foreigns, Bank Account, and many more. The album itself is distinguished by a unique sound with an album cover that sets the tone for the entire track list. With a simple white background and a gun embezzled with the numbers 22, one might consider it symbolic for a young artist to use such imagery in creating their identity.

The company was established only recently along with the time frame allocated for creating the newly released album. Kerbert has stated in his official website on how he hopes to use this as a platform to work with other similar rappers and producers that share the same ideology. If things work out, it can formally adopt other professionals into the company and they can hopefully release new music together.

In his song 22, he talks about how his journey on this planet began when he was born in 1994 and his trials and tribulations since then. He remembers the defining and significant moment when at 18, he realized he was going to father a child. Having a sense of openness about his life is something that most rappers talk about, but never quite share in such emotional detail and honesty like he has.

Such an honest voice is something that not all similar artists have the ability to present in such a simple yet remarkable way. For instance, the track entitled Molly speaks of his experiences and emotions on the drug MDMA or known to the streets as Molly. The hook is punctuated by an auto tuned voice that reflects the dreamy state that one experiences under the influence.

As the years go by, only time will tell on what the future holds for Kerbert and how far he will go with this work. By having a positive mindset and a unique take on rap and hip hop, he will surely go far. Coupled with the right marketing methods and more relevant content, he is a force within the industry to reckon with.
