Khary Durgans

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." - Audible Treats

As kids, we were all told to dream big and that the sky is the limit. For Khary Durgans, what started off as a hobby in high school became a solid reality in the matter of only two short years. Commonly known by his stage name, K.i.T is turning heads and making a name for himself as a talented rap artist. Hailing from Providence, Rhode Island, he uprooted and moved to Boston to study at Northeastern University, enrolling in their Music Industry program. Though the high school life at time limited his growth and experience in the rap game, K.i.T has taken giant leaps in his own development as an artist and entertainer by writing every day and constantly improving his craft.
Over these past two years, the rapper has amassed a considerable bevy of fans and listeners. In fact, in this short span, K.i.T. has performed in over forty shows in over fifteen venues and is always received with well-deserved applause of the audience and support from fans, new and old. Furthermore, K.i.T’s time-tested drive and determination coupled with undeniable talent has led to numerous gigs opening up for legends like Slick Rick, Beanie Sigel, Keith Murray, and much more. With his musical roots firmly grounded in the abstract sounds of A Tribe Called Quest and Canadian rapper K-oS, K.i.T has since evolved his style into one that is uniquely and solely his own. For him, the sky is not limit. We at LTM can already foresee K.i.T. making footprints on the moon. - Lets Talk Magazine

I’ve heard this thing a bunch but never in it’s beautiful completion. The day finally arrived. We are now able to experience that Kid in Training’s (K.i.T.) sophomore mixtape. The beats consist of the new and old. To be honest, I’m not here to talk about the beats as much as I’m here to talk about the project as a whole. I’ve been fortunate to have a window into the project almost from its conception. I’ve heard some of the tracks ahead of time and I gotta say, I’m impressed by the finished product. Opening up the tape is “My Last Day On Earth”. Big band track that wakes you the fuck up in anticipation of the truth that the Rhode Island born rapper is preparing to drop on you. Towards the end of “Never Understand” you’ll hear one of my favorite signatures of K.i.T.’s music. Sometimes used for comic relief, the serious tone reduction in the last 30 seconds always sounds dope, and gears you up for the next track that’s a throwback to the good old days of Outcast. “Neva Eva Eva” is probably one of my favorite tracks on the tape. Mad funny verses that speak the truth while keeping you entertained will keep this track on repeat for a while. Playcount at 6. “Kenny Forgot The Bitches” is a fan favorite. We already have the video for this one, featured right here! “Contradictions (The Fall)” is prolly one of my favorite tracks on the tape. Lyrics that take you into the internal turmoil of between being a musician, drugs, relationships and everything in between. Real shit. Really dope track, then you throw in the tone-drop. Damn. “Dreams Dummies Can Buy” follows in that same vein of “Contradictions” but lacks the same intensity. At first, I saw this as a criticism but it really brings you out of the dark and preps you for “A Million Miles”. A more uplifting track that reminds me a lot of something I would hear from Green Street, “A Million Miles” takes on, in more detail, the issues of sex, girls and morality. An easier track to relate to, I think this track, more than anything highlights K.i.T’s ability to “put himself out there” for his listeners. An artist that puts himself at the mercy of his listener, revealing his flaws, is one that is more likable and easier to relate to than any other. Conscious word choice and a catchy hook make this track one of my favorites on the tape. Damn I’m only halfway… Aight so! Jon Hope comes in on track 8 helping mix-up the vibe a bit over the course of the tape. Quality verses and a chill beat allow this track to serve as a sort of intermission track, picking up the vibe a bit. Titled “The Man”, I think the track speaks to the confidence it takes to make it as a rapper these days. Tracks 9-10, were not the strongest on the tape serving more as an intermission to the second part of the tape. The dopeness comes back with Hardcore Parkour, featuring Boston-based act, Dean Swift. The track is just dope. I can’t really go into it, it would do it a disservice. Listen to it, the flows, the verses, the beat. Just dope. After Dean pummels your eardrums into submission on a one-take recording of his verse, K.i.T. brings in the perseverance vibe with “Grrreat!” This track is clever. Really good. Tony the Tiger sample will always make me smile. It’s kind of a “move the fuck over, i’m making me own space in the game” kinda track. You know? Again, exhibits K.i.T’s versatility and appeal to a wider audience than the typical hip-hop artist. Jon Hope comes in again to mix up the feelin’ on “Tell Em Why Your Mad”. Not one of my favorite tracks on the tape but Hope kills it. “Ocean Deep” features production from Chicken Donut featured artist, Prof. Logik. Good shit. “My Will” wasn’t my favorite but the Kid in Training saved face with “Boys & Girls”. This is one of the tracks I heard before it was released and have been bangin’ it ever since. This shit is absolutely dope as fuck. Catchy chorus and a dope beat make this shit a definite crowd-pleaser. I have to be honest in saying the “Nigga in New York” was an unsatisfying finish to the mixtape. I think it did the tape a disservice by closing with an over-used beat. That being said, K.i.T’s verses are strong but that’s to be expected at this point. Overall, I think the tape was dope as fuck. I really enjoyed listening to K.i.T explore different styles of rapping and different genres within hip-hop. A great tape that’s not just enjoyable to listen to for the musical value but K.i.T is mad entertaining. He can be funny, intelligent, and real. A smart mixtape like this one is a refreshing change of pace from the constant “I push mad shit, I’m tough as fuck, I drive mad expensive cars” tape that seem to be more and more prevalent within the hip-hop industry. Although, I’m a bit biased, I think the mixtape deserves a B+/A-. There were times where I was frustrated, but overall I found it to be incredibly dope and enjoyable to listen to. We’re excited to hear what will come next out of K.i.T’s camp in the New Year. The whole mixtape is available for downlo - The Chicken Donut

We finally had the chance to get K.i.T in the studio for an interview. We were suppose to have him on the show sometime late last year but something always came up but finally he came through and this was one of our most enjoyable interviews. This guy was chill and was very funny, oh yeah his music is dope too. The whole Gag Order team notice his talents and we all know how successful he can be so we recently started working with K.i.T and help him with promotion and also I (Jimmy) is now going to help him with his booking! Please do us a favor and check his music out better yet check him out live, he will be opening up for our homies from Aer. - Gag Order Radio

Taking a leave of absence from school to work on 3 music projects simultaneously, the Rhode Island youngster K.i.T is prepping up for his new mixtape series “Leave Of Absence”. The Leave of Absence is a four part mixtape series hosted by the Chicken Donut that will take place over the first four months of 2012 “Basically I’m on a leave of absence from college and I have been recording like crazy.” K.i.T explains. “So to document my progression over my time off from classes I will releasing a project entitled The Leave Of Absence at end of every month.”
I’ve been keeping up with this kid’s youtube channel, he puts up very good freestyles and pretty decent videos like this one below. The video is just of him rapping and prancing around the house, it’s nothing spectacular but the flow is sick. You have to admire a college kid’s creativity, he’s utilizing whatever he has to perfect his craft and he’s doing a pretty good job. A brave sacrifice of him to leave school and make music, you have to respect his drive. - Jungle Gym Magazine
