Spvce Kid

Space Kid is an up-and-coming artist from NYC who makes his debut on HNHH today with the track "Cool." Produced by Ibra Heem, the song bears a number of interesting tags on SoundCloud, including "queens," "sweden," "J Dilla," "trap" and "newwave."

Though we don't know what the Queens MC tagged Sweden for, the music is actually described pretty well by the above genre tags. At once jazzy, trap-influenced and slick as a New Wave song, "Cool" sounds just like its name suggests. This is definitely one that should get added to you Summer playlists.

Quotable Lyrics:

Riot 'til you try it, I am defining defiance
No science can cure the bias they've sold to the highest buyer
And in my city we smoke and get higher, higher
Niggas light up and blaze, just pray that there's no firefighters - Patrick Lyons

Spvce Kid is a 24 year old rapper originating from Queens, New York. He is a rapper who avoids the labeling of his music as either “mainstream” or “underground” and rather tends to think of his work as original. Original is up for interpretation however, and Spvce Kid himself will only describe the term as being “music that ultimately sparks change in the world today”. The 24-year-old rapper started his love for music at a very young age, for as long as he can remember actually. “I remember word playing with all of the songs that my mother used to listen to, and I remember how much she hated when I did my own little remixes”.
It wasn’t until the age of 12, however, that the rapper actually started writing his own songs. And then, it wasn’t until the age of 22, when he met “Sweden” while attending the Institute of Audio Research that he started his current project – COOL. While both Spvce Kid and Ibra-Heem (Sweden) were attending IAR to get their audio engineer certificates, they realized their shared love for hiphop and decided on collaborating on an EP together. Spvce kid is the one behind the rapping, and Ibra-Heem is behind the production.
COOL is an EP containing seven tracks, the first one released a month ago. The song is titled after the project and has already seen a lot of successes. In only a month; COOL has been repeatedly played on Hot97’s “Real late with Rosenberg”, featured in Hotnewhiphop.com as well as countless Swedish magazines, and has almost reached 7,000 plays on Soundcloud. The opportunities that they envision for their work is limitless. Spvce Kid and Ibra-Heem have plans on releasing the remaining six tracks from COOL before the end of 2014. - Undergroundhiphopblog

Ibra-Heem från Halmstad/New York planerar EP med New York-rapparen.


Ibra-Heem som tidigare gick under namnet Confident rapporterade vi på Kingsizemagazine om bland annat i december 2013 när producenten/rapparen släppte beat-tapet “sECRET rECIPE – Vol 1″. I dagsläget jobbar Ibra-Heem främst som ljudtekniker i en musikstudio i New York vid namn Sound Clash Recordings. Detta efter att ha flyttat från Halmstad till Queens i New York där han har studerat ljudteknik.

Nu är Halmstad/Queens-producenten aktuell med projektet “Cool EP” tillsammans med Spvce Kid från just Queens. Första singeln är titelspåret “Cool”, mixad av Ibra-Heem själv samt mastrad av Tony Dawsey (GangStarr, Jay Z, Onyx, Blaq Poet, Masta Ace med flera). - Redaktionen
