Violetduplicious by KidShy

Back in 2004, during a stint with Americorps in Austin, I created about two dozen hip-hop beats under the moniker KidShy. My friends in the program basically made up a ragtag crew building trails and chopping down invasive trees, making $42 a day, and surviving on whatever hustle we had.

There were two guys on our crew who loved hip-hop so much that they would blast beats in our work van. Not long after that, I got the idea to start making my own beats. KidShy is the result of that.

I finally brought some justice to these (Long? Purposely?) forgotten hip-hop experiments from my younger, broke, trail-building days. It feels good to breathe some new life into music that was essentially lost to for a couple of decades.
