PARTYTIME Friday #11 – Kidd Kwest Interview Part 2

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: PART ONE!

Only a few weeks after our first meeting, I find myself spontaneously sitting down with Kidd Kwest for the second part in my series of interviews with him. In the time since we last spoke I had been exploring the work he’s been doing and I came across an EP titled City of Palms where Kidd Kwest is featured with rappers from the Fort Myers area.

N: “Tell me about this City of Palms EP, I found it online last week.”

KK: “City of Palms was an idea I had to bring a bunch of people together who are from the same area, who don’t normally work together, to not only make music with each other but to create a scene. Bringing a whole bunch of people together with a common interest and passion, that’s how you create a scene.”

N: “What is it that you’re working on now?”

KK: “Right now I’m working on a collab mixtape with a few friends of mine, K.G. and Brian Howard. It doesn’t have a title or anything yet.”

N: “Where in the process are you? Have you been recording?”

KK: “Yeah we have done some recording, that’s actually where I’m going right after this, to the studio. We’re just letting this process happen organically. I want to record all summer and then put out the finished product.”

N: “So, definitely no “release date” per se…”

KK: “No, I really hate to put a date on anything that I’m going to release in the future. I just feel like that’s setting up possible disappointment for me and the listeners.  I can’t stand when an artist says “Oh yeah, this is dropping next month” and I’m so excited about it, just to see the date get pushed back 3 months.
I’d rather just let it be known that I’m working and when it’s finished, it’ll be released.”

N: “So other than the collab mix that’s coming, what’s next for Kidd Kwest?”

KK: “Ever since I started rapping I’ve been writing for a mixtape called “A Kidd Called Kwest”

N: “What’s the relation between that and the song of the same name on your SoundCloud?”

KK: “I released that track prematurely, knowing that it would be the title track of a mixtape eventually. “A Kidd Called Kwest” has been the project I’ve been working on since I first created my name. I have to embody Kidd Kwest as much as possible right now, that won’t be me forever.”

N: “I want to come back to that in a second, where did the name Kidd Kwest come from?”

KK: “A Tribe Called Quest is one of my biggest musical influences, that’s definitely what sparked the idea.”

N: “Ok, now you said you won’t be Kidd Kwest forever, what do you mean by that? As in eventually you won’t be doing rap music?”

KK: “No, No, I just know that as I get older I will evolve as an artist. And with that will eventually come a name change. I just can’t see myself being 25 having someone call me “Kidd” anything” he laughed.
