If Kydd Jones doesn’t blow in 2018, I will be extremely surprised. Over the past couple of years, he has honed in on a sound that is definitely working for him. He is able to make music that fits in with the mainstream artist output while being able to remain true to himself and his artistic drive. Brand New finds Kydd spitting bars about making moves and rising to the top even when those around you seem to change with a revolving-door level of frequency. With a co-sign from Kitsuné Hot Stream, this one should definitely see some traction. Don’t forget, however, to give it a like, a share and a comment, for the sake of Austin hip-hop.
