Kaydee - "AmeriKKKa's Baby"

Mississauga rapper Kaydee unveils his newest single titled "AmeriKKKa's Baby." The concept behind the record is very important. Even though the U.S. is a different country, the same issues that plague African Americans are the same issues black males face in Toronto, Canada as well. The prejudice, the injustice, the police brutality are just some of the problems we all face. A lot of artists like to speak about the hood yet never want to touch on the real issues that are prevalent in these neighbourhoods but Kaydee feels someone has to give voice to these people. After staying quiet for most of 2015, Kaydee intends to make an impact with a new 4-track EP coming out in the middle of February and following it up with an actual full length project in the summertime. Listen to “AmeriKKKa’s Baby” by Kaydee (above) and follow him on Twitter.
