Kembe X • "10ft Tall"

A release from Kembe's upcoming project 'Talk Back'


Words by Nicholas Rud


Chicago has been pushing out plenty mainstream artists within the past years between Vic, Chance, Mick Jenkins, Bibby, Herb, and others, but we hope you didn’t forget about Kembe X. For those who are unfamiliar with Kembe, he came up in the Chicago hip-hop scene alongside Alex Wiley and the rest of their respective crew “The Village”. Kembe X has been working with Moosa Tiffith, the son of TDE’s CEO Anthony “TopDawg” Tiffith for a bit now.

As speculations continues about Kembe becoming apart of TDE (Top Dawg did just confirm that Kembe was just a "friend of the family" at the moment), Kembe drops a brand new song called "10ft Tall" from his new project Talk Back. Kembe stands as tall as the song's title suggests with just over four minutes of monster rhymes over a soulful beat produced by Bentley Hazelwood. In the second verse Kembe name-drops some of his favorites from Chicago, listing R.Kelly, Chief Keef, Alex Wiley, and Monster Mike. Within the next couple of weeks we should see how the situation plays out. Lets hope that Kembe becomes an official member of TDE, that would be another huge win for Chicago!
