Kidd G expands upon being the "Down Home Boy"

Thursday, December 23, 2021 – Kidd G will expand his debut album, with a special "Down Home Boy: Gone Since Last October" deluxe edition on Friday with four new songs.

Among those, his forthcoming track "I Don't Wanna" highlights his ability to blend genres withcountry.

Co-writing each song on the 18-track collection, the deluxe highlights Kidd G's Southern roots. His debut radio single was "Summer In A Small Town" and recently released "Paper Hearts (F-150)," and "Whiskey & Wine."

Growing up in the small Georgia town of Hamilton (population 1,130), Kidd G first found an audience through TikTok and SoundCloud, where he got his start posting songs he'd recorded with his friend Nolie Beats. In spring 2020, he caught the attention of Rebel Music, who signed him on the strength of his genre-warping talents. While early tracks like his debut single "Sorry" lean toward traditional hip-hop, he later brought an element of old-school country into his songwriting.

Kidd G later put out "Dirt Road," which helped build his following. "I love country because it feels so natural to me, and you can really tell stories in the songs," said Kidd G, naming Hank Williams Jr. among the artists he was raised on. He is signed to The Valory Music Co., part of the Big Machine umbrella.
