Artist to Watch: Super Duper Kyle
“I Spy” with my little eye an artist climbing to fame.
KYLE, or more popularly known as Super Duper KYLE, has climbed his way into the spotlight and many students playlists.
“I Spy” is a new single that KYLE has produced that features rapper Lil-Yachty. This single is climbing the charts. Currently, the single is number three on the iMusic rap chart.
“I Spy” isn’t his first hit song, KYLE has ten other albums that have grabbed the ears of many fans around the world. His top hits in those albums include “Doubt it,” “Don’t Want to Fall in Love,” “Summertimesoul” and “‘Remember me?” His music is catching on in the industry.
“He doesn’t flaunt his money, or talk about partying, doing drugs and hooking up with girls,” freshman Cenie Frieson said. “He’s very laid back and would rather stay at home hanging with friends and playing video games than going out to a club.”
KYLE brings a new aspect into the rap game. He raps because it is his passion, but also to provide income for his mother and his three siblings. He does that so he can take the pressure off of his mother’s shoulders. He’s working towards a future that he will enjoy and one that’s not only better for himself, but for his family.
According to Rolling stone, “KYLE Harvey makes unabashedly sunny pop-raps, whether it’s looping early Nineties one-hit wonder Jane Child into the winning ‘Don’t Wanna Fall in Love,’ or rhyming about ‘Fruit Snacks and Cups of Patron’.”
KYLE’s music is a mixture of his natural speaking voice, personality and rapping in order to make music unique to himself. Making it unique to the music scene,
In the song “Just a Picture,” he raps about how he’s looking for a relationship, but the girl he wants is too invested in her phone instead of talking to him. He wants her to talk to him instead of tweeting him. He made a song about a innocent problem he was going through and made it a banger.
KYLE isn’t new to the music scene, formally known as K.I.D.; in February 2005 he dropped an album called “Interrobang” featuring 13 songs kickstarting his music career. But ultimately making his jump into the limelight after his album “Beautiful Loser” released.
“Like all great artists the longer they’re in the business the better the music and I think with KYLE it’s the same deal,” sophomore Grace Roberts said. “His old music is great, but if you look at the dates his multiple albums have come out, I think you can see just how much he’s progressed in his quality of music, so overall I do think his current music is in some cases better than his older music.”
He is an artist rapping about video games, curly head cuties, summer flings and what is happening in his life. With an artist like this he should climb his way into your playlists and people should be climbing into the crowd of his stage performance at “Summerfest.” He will be headlining the Miller Lite Oasis stage on July 5 at 10 p.m.
