The Mixtape/Song:
Coming from a state where local hip-hop more than often remains local, 20-year-old Providence, Rhode Island, native K.i.T is excited to announce the release of his debut mixtape, The Last KiD On EARTH. The self-proclaimed Ocean State Great has spent the past two years perfecting his craft, building his catalogue, and performing over 50 shows, including opening for the likes of Stalley, Keith Murray, Apathy, and Beanie Sigel.
Building off of the momentum of his April released EP, The Quest For Equilibrium, The Last KiD On EARTH is laced with slick raps, awkward confessions, and powerful social commentary. "The Last KiD On EARTH is a tale of a kid - me coming of age," explains K.i.T. "But the end-all-be-all is that even the last kid on the planet must eventually grow up, change, and experience new things."
What sets this project apart from K.i.T's previous work is the way it was conceived. "I was practically living 3 different lives," notes K.i.T, adding, "In the Spring I was living a college life Boston, the summer back home in Providence, and my fall was interning in Brooklyn. I got to really look at how life was changing for me, I was able to live this project as I made it."
With "Boys & Girls," the lead single from The Last KiD On EARTH, K.i.T puts the world into two simple categories through a shallow looking glass. "When you break down the world on a human level all you really have is boys and girls," explains K.i.T. "Its nature; I just happen to be in that stage in life where we recklessly live by that code, as though each of us individually are the world. It's a spiteful chant of sorts." Reaching out to his most frequent producer Jackson Stell, the beat features a dark dubstep inspired bass line over addictive kick and snare drums that make "Boys & Girls" the perfect introduction into what K.i.T calls, "The mind of a conflicted kid."

The
Background:
Coming from the smallest state on the map (Providence, RI), where local hip-hop more than often remains local, is a strange yet honest MC that goes by the name of K.i.T. Performing in over 50 shows and opening up for the likes of Stalley, Keith Murray, Apathy, and Beanie Sigel, the 20 year old self proclaimed Ocean State Great has spent the past two years building a solid base for his future career. In early April of 2011 the MC released his debut EP, The Quest For Equilibrium, and has been riding the momentum ever since as he now preps the release of a new mixtape, The Last KiD On Earth, set to be released on December 4th.
