European hip-hop sensation Kelvyn Colt was born in Berlin and lives in London but cites his hometown as “the internet”; his style is, naturally, omnivorous. He’s a student of contemporary quirk and vintage punchlines, American flows and British grime, rapid-fire bars, and impassioned croon. He left law school for a rap career, flying from Germany to London—and naming his debut EP, 2017’s LH914, after the flight number. A fan of deeply emotional MCs like 2Pac and Kid Cudi, Colt tells candid tales of the struggle, the hustle, mental health, and relationships, even representing his upbringing by performing the occasional rap auf deutsch.
