The city of Texas shouldn’t only be known for their flaming-hot chili peppers or famous rodeo shows, but also through the music style brought about by Kevin Abstract.
The world of hip hop came alive through the downpour of talents in the early 2010s, and music fans all over the world should be very thankful that Abstract was included in that list.
Widely known as the future of this genre, Kevin Abstract has been featured by so many music magazines and experts because of his natural talent in performing.
Born Ian Simpson, this Marcos, Texas local made it big in the mainstream pop scene with his first album, MTV1987. Since the release of this discography, many have applauded Abstract’s fresh take in conventional hip hop because he focused more on the music’s lyrics rather than the beat. Aside from singing, Kevin Abstract is also known to be a very prolific songwriter and producer despite the fact that he’s just 19 years old.
One interesting fact about Kevin Abstract is that he is openly vocal about his gender preference, as he is a bisexual and music isn’t really a career that he wants to pursue given other options. Still, his love for music came from his interest in listening to musical scoring and soundtracks in movies, which transcended into an addiction to contemporary and classical artists, too.
Some of the flicks that sparked his motivation to sing include Me, Earl and the Dying Girl, Boogie Nights, Mean Girls, Fury, It Follows and Palo Alto. This Texan music prodigy also respects singers and acts like Kanye West, the late and legendary Kurt Cobain, Justin Timberlake, Kid Cudi and Frank Ocean.
Aside from MTV1987, Kevin Abstract is currently completing his sophomore album entitled They Shoot Horses, set to be made public in the second or third quarter of 2016. He has also compiled several mixtapes entitled KevinLovesYou (2009), The Comics (2011), Pink Elephants (2011) and Imagination (2011).
Aside from flying solo, Kevin Abstract is also a part of a band called Brockhampton where he received an award from the VFILES Loud Contest mainly for their song ‘Dirt’.
Due to his exposure in the music scene these past few months, Kevin Abstract is now one of the hottest items in 2016, especially now that a second album is expected to explode like a supernova.
