Seeking: Label, Management
Style: Hip-Hop/Rap

The most refreshing part of listening to Kellz amid our sea of submitted trap artists, is hearing the female emcee apply the formulas of the genre (street life, getting money, getting women) from a lesbian perspective. The rapper has a unique delivery and is an excellent storyteller and motivator, a la Nipsey Hussle, and her songs “Cause & Effect” and “KING” demonstrate keen production and clever stream-of-conscious rapping. Recent single “U Know” is an R&B ballad, featuring Kellz’s best attempt to sing (she is a more competent emcee).  “Speaking of Bitches...” harshly starts the shift to straightforward rap we loved hearing. Room for improvement lies in the final mix: vocals could be more up front to really command the track.
