K3rby Hip Hop And What Makes His Music Unique

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.

Nonetheless, this has only emphasized on the need for these artists to create a stronger sense of relevance and a presence online. This can be done by creating music and sending it out consistently with great quality. This example has been set by K3rby hip hop and this article will emphasize on his work and what makes his music unique.

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.

Only few people like Kerbert can express his passion and continue to do so at the age of 22 with the title of the same name released in late 2017. The album can best be defined as mix of modern trap music with elements incorporated from the unique sound that hip hop creates. Tracks like 22 and Bank Account emphasizes on his unique flow and the album art chosen represents the struggles that he went through before setting up his new business venture, K3rby Entertainment.

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 track 22, he raps about being established in nineteen ninety four and his musical journey towards the industry since then. He recalls a time when he was eighteen and found out he would be the father to a baby he had with a girlfriend. This honesty and frankness in sharing his emotions at the time makes his flow unique and establishes a sense of relevance to it, because other young men can relate to his story and where he is coming from.

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 more time passes, the industry could use original artists like Kerbert that has a unique spin on hip hop and rap. Supported by close friends, family, and a team of producers, he will surely go far. Only time will tell where this new found career and business venture will take him in the music industry.
