KDthePoet - "DUB 5 Freestyle": A Profound Glimpse into Young Talent's Journey

In a captivating and introspective freestyle, KDthePoet takes center stage in DUB 5's Freestyle Series. Shot in portrait mode for an intimate touch for social media, the video unfolds in the heart of West London, setting the scene for a mesmerising lyrical journey.

The visuals feature the opulent backdrop of a luxury Mercedes S-Class, an emblem of the artist's rapid ascent into the music world. But KD's journey began far from the bustling streets of London. Hailing from Swindon, he was discovered by Nydus on Instagram at the tender age of 15. Nydus recognised not just KD's undeniable superstar talent but also his wisdom that far exceeded his years. This recognition led to KD signing with DUB 5 and being officially managed by the company.

In this freestyle, KD is now 16, and he keeps it real, touching on his ambitions and coming to terms with the bright future that awaits him. He also professes his deep love for his mother and gives a shout-out to his hometown, affectionately calling it S-Town.

The video features YPCLZZ in the background, hinting at upcoming music releases with DUB 5. The original soulful music production by Nydus and IDontSleep at Dub 5's Studio A elevates the freestyle, incorporating live piano, percussion, and backing vocals by Natalie Lindi and Declan Richards.

In an interview with KD, he shares his commitment to freedom of speech and conscious rap, tackling real-life problems and scenarios that resonate with people his age.

Regarding the filming process, KD emphasises the importance of aligning the video's vibe with the song's essence, creating a straightforward yet compelling take with eye-catching visuals.

KD also sheds light on the opportunities that DUB 5 has provided since signing a management deal, including support with music videos, production, and event access. He lauds Nydus as a mentor who consistently shows respect, pushing him to excel in the booth with constructive criticism and unwavering support. Nydus's professionalism has left an indelible mark on KD's journey as an emerging artist.

"KDthePoet’s DUB 5 Freestyle is a powerful testament to young talent's resilience, creativity, and the opportunities that arise when mentorship and genuine passion converge. KD's future in the music industry undoubtedly shines bright.
