The Single:

Approaching traditional hip-hop from odd angles, Khary uses his unique lyrical vantage point to rap about life in the big city. Telling a relatable tale about love and liquor, Khary shows off his melodic skills in “4AM Thirst Ballad,” his latest single. Floating over a textured instrumental burbling with arpeggiated keys, Khary raps from the perspective of a girl in his life, painting an empathetic portrait of her turbulent, alcohol-fueled relationship with Khary’s “Captain” character. Croons Khary, “No this ain’t a Cinderella story/It’s more like Beauty and the Beast/Because I let you see me anytime/But you only visit when you drink.” The latest single from Captain, Khary’s upcoming album, “4AM Thirst Ballad” follows the Billboard-premiered “Captain” video that finds Khary wildin’ out in a warehouse, shaking his dreads and throwing money in the air.

Soaked in immersive, bass-heavy sonics courtesy of producers like Dilip, Calev, Tedd Boyd, and others, Captain is a confident and focused new project, emphasizing the necessity of self-knowledge and self-mastery for success in music or any other artistic pursuit. More self-assured and technically proficient than Khary’s previous projects, Captain, coming in Spring 2018, is packed with inventive flows and memorable punchlines, all organized into a useful and inspiring message.

Cutting his teeth at open-mics in his hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, Khary found his voice as an artist when he started interning at various music and media companies in NYC. In 2016, Khary dropped Intern Aquarium, his debut project, which focused on his hustle and his nascent artistic being, finding viral success with “Find Me,” which recently placed on the soundtrack of NBA 2K18. Earlier this year, Khary released Tidal Graves, an EP created in collaboration with Lege Kale. With over 16 million plays on all platforms, Khary is an artist on the rise growing a considerable fanbase and performing with the likes of Tory Lanez, Kyle, Mura Masa, Talib Kweli, Royce Da 5’9”, Waka Flocka, and comedian Jermaine Fowler.
