Kidd G

Growing up in the small Georgia town of Hamilton (population 1,130), Kidd G first found fame online through TikTok, where he got his start posting songs he’d recorded with his friend, Nolie Beats.

In 2020, he caught the attention of Rebel Music, who signed him on the strength of his genre-warping talents. While early tracks like his debut single, “Sorry,” lean toward traditional hip-hop, he later brought an element of old-school country into his songwriting. As he continued posting his music on SoundCloud, Kidd G soon amassed a dedicated following, undeniably drawn to his hometown charm and the honest detail of his lyrics. As he continued exploring his country roots, Kidd G came up with “Dirt Road”— a nostalgia-soaked ballad that quickly went viral (now certified RIAA Gold), its video surpassing 5M YouTube views in little over a month. Naming Hank Williams Jr. among the artists he was raised on, the burgeoning star has now surpassed 1.5M monthly Spotify listeners, his tracks have seen radio play from KIXX Country Radio in Australia and reached new peaks on highly coveted country playlists including Amazon Music’s “Country Heat” (peaked at No. 2), and Spotify’s “Hot Country” (peaked at No. 3).

In 2020, he released full length project Teenage Dream which includes RIAA certified Gold hits “Dirt Road” and “Teenage Dream”. His follow-up project, Down Home Boy, has emerged as a homegrown phenomenon unto itself. Beyond generating 41M+ streams on Spotify, The New York Times championed it “the year’s best country debut album.” Currently on the road for his second headlining tour, which includes a major country festival performance at CMA Fest this summer, Kidd G continues to prove himself as “one of country music’s most buzzed about newcomers,” as noted by Billboard.
