KEMBE X

HNHH recently launched a Spotify playlist called FIRE EMOJI: The Hottest Hip Hop Songs Right Now. 

Well look what we have here. After months of promotion, which included songs like “10 Ft.

A little while back, there was some brief confusion over whether or not Kembe X was signed to TDE.

Kembe X just dropped off some dark visuals for a pretty ominous-sounding record, despite what may seem like a rather cheery/inviting title: "Welcome to America."

Kembe X may not be signed to TDE...yet, but he's still one of Chicago's most exciting young talents. After dropping a gem in the HNHH studio earlier this month, Kembe is back with a thrilling new track, "10 Ft.

UPDATE: TDE CEO Anthony Tiffith has denounced rumors that Kembe X has signed to TDE. For now, he seems to be just a "friend of the family." "When I signed something new I will let y'all know," he told his followers.

It's that time of the week.

It's been a while since we heard from Chicago rapper Kembe X. Today, Kembe debuts the aptly titled "Excellence" in a HNHH premiere.

Kembe X has been making appearances on HotNewHipHop for a while now, and has always been well received.

Kembe X is a rising rapper out of Chicago, and we last featured his track “Talk Back” in November of 2015. "Like Elijah" is another track off of the upcoming project, also titled Talk Back.

Kembe X has big plans for 2016. When the rapper stopped by the office (a more complete interview is on the way), he spoke on what he has poppin' for 2016, but not without spitting a few #bars first. 

While many of us dread the return of the work week, especially when it's the first Monday of 2016 (and basically the end of holiday season), Kembe X welcomes it with open arms.

After hitting us with the track “Buried Alive” last week, Chicago’s Kembe X decides to waste little time in sharing another one for us called “Talk Back.”

The phrase "Buried Alive" may remind you of Kendrick Lamar's surprise feature on Drake's Take Care.

Sauce McKinley makes his HNHH debut with SOUND W/\\/ES, a funky 8 track project that gets guest appearances from the likes of Locksmith, Kembe X, Smoke DZA, and others.

With his Talk Back project not too far off on the horizon, Kembe X drops an intriguing track by the name of "Psykles," which features a guest appearance from Zacari and the production talents of Newz.

After dropping off the well-received, Danny Brown-featured track “Hereditary” back in May, Kembe X decides to return today with another new offering for us titled “What I'm Doin.”

Sleeper Camp is up next. We're already enamored with their producer-slash-rapper SedRoc (listen to this), and Jimi Tents is equally intriguing.

Danny Brown is something of a tastemaker. Getting a co-sign from Brown may not be the instant catapult that a Drake verse entails, but it's more of an assurance that he's recognized something special in you, which may be worth more in the long run.

The last time we heard from Kembe X was "Feelin' Like A Man," a breezy, horn-laden production with an equally sunny video.

Kembe X impressed us with his self-titled EP last summer, and he's now getting ready to drop another project. Once again, it's suited for the warm weather.

With the world looking at Kendrick Lamar today, Kembe X slides in with a new release, "Feel Like The Man." If you have been keeping To Pimp A Butterfly in rotation this afternoon, than switching over to Kembe's new jam should be a smooth transition.

Through his prolific and high quality out put over the last couple of years, Alex Wiley has gradually become one of the most notable up-and-comers out of Chicago (and there are many).

It's been a minute since Kembe X dropped off his self-titled EP in conjunction with Scion A/V.

HotNewHipHop's On The Come Up series profiles rising stars in the rap game that show strong promise and the will to succeed. Most of the time, they're new to the site but deserve some shine.

Alex Wiley's June mixtape Village Party was one of our favorites of the summer, an inventive, sometimes goofy collection of stoned-and-zonked-out tracks. Today, one of its tracks, "Takeoff," gets a very fitting video.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is psychiatric disorder defined by a lack of attention span and hyperactivity.

Last week, Kembe X dropped his self-titled EP with a little help from Scion, and though four solo cuts on there were undeniably strong, "As I Unfold" was the sure standout, thanks to strong contributions from Alex Wiley and Ab-Soul.
