Blending hip-hop styles, crossing boundaries and defying labels: West Coast rapper Dom Kennedy's shaken and stirred blend of R&B, rap and hip-hop is a fresh addition to an ever-growing genre. Thematically, his messages are unmistakably contemporary with hints of Outkast, LL Cool J and The Notorious B.I.G seeping through every beat. Kennedy charges through inner city L.A., inspired by and proud of his roots collaborating with fellow L.A. indie rap-icons such as Ty Dolla Sign and Nipsey Hussle. Home is where this rapper's heart is, so sit up, crank it up and stay a while.
