Keily Rude

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. In 3rd grade I sang Jessie J's "Price" for my class's talent show. I was extremely nervous but that's technically my first time performing. In 5th grade I posted a cover to Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" and it got half a million views haha. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Erykah Badu, New Amerykah, Pt. 2: Return of the Ankh Lil Wayne, Rebirth (Deluxe Version) Wiz Khalifa, Flight School These particular albums are alternative and experimental while remaining true to the artists and complementing the rest of their discography. Everybody hated "Rebirth" when it came out and to me its some of Lil Wayne's best work. These are inspiring. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fiction” This song is meant to curate a feeling of self confidence in the listener. When this song comes on you instantly want to dance, call up your friends to go out and start admiring yourself in the mirror. It's really a "IDGAF" type of song. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The best and most memorable moments of my career have been getting to work with artists in my city that have a similar niche style of music. The absolute best has to be the LA rap show I threw on Jan 2nd 2026. It was phenomenal energy. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I have a million things to do for myself as an artist. Any goal you can think of, I probably have. I strive to push my way into spaces unapologetically and let the world in on the Rude agenda.
