Kid Static + Sweet Limb

KID STATIC:
Kid Static is a Chicago rapper/producer who is sometimes affiliated with fellow Chicago producer Yea Big. He is a producer first and foremost, with a style that is informed by experimental electronica styles, but his rapping is what garners the most attention. He released his solo debut album, Have You Seen This Man?, on the independent label Anodyne Electric Company. His sophomore release, It Gleams, was on Cobra Records out of Chicago. He toured nationally with Yea Big for the release of The Heavy, a 7" EP on Metal Postcard, and Yea Big + Kid Static, a full-length album on Jib Door. In addition to studio work, the duo also performed together, notably opening for Rhymefest at the Metro in Chicago and GZA at the Englert Theater in Iowa City. He has recorded with Del the Funkee Homosapien and for a short time served as hype man for Open Mike Eagle. Now based in Austin, TX, Kid Static is playing shows around town preparing for the release of material in mid 2024. His Instagram series "Random Bad Rap Ideas" has octupled his social media following since the end of last year.

SWEET LIMB:
Hip Hop is a genre that once lived the spirit of true collectives. A group would come together and deliver more than the sum of their many parts. Sweet Limb are a throwback to that time. When the organic flow of real musicians was the additional magic that created a spell all its own. Literally it added an extra limb to the sound and elevated it to a blissful experience.
​
The band from Austin Tx have been busy of late with an outstanding album titled Thank You For Not Snitching, an EP titled Linx and numerous singles which have caught the eye of many. Hitting high at #7 with Who You Run Wit? on the iTunes Hip Hop charts and getting into the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Top 100, the group is striking all the right moves in 2024. They were also featured on BMI’s May Top Ten Texas Playlist and in the July edition of The Austin Chronicle in support of their Drink's Backyard show with NatetheMosaic and FRSH LMN.
Developing a sound that moves beyond De La Soul, A TribeCalled Quest, Arrested Development, Stevie Wonder, The Roots, and Outkast, their grooves are laidback and the lyrics speak to their own truths. They dive deep beyond the mind, body and soul to places unimagined.
Unafraid to share the light with other artists including Shxwnfresh, Tall Kyle, Kid Static, Norman BA$E and more, they are reaching out into the live space too. There is nothing like seeing them in full fight creating musical poetry with the passion to please. That solid reputation has also seen them gain popularity at stations such as KUTX, KOOP, and KAZI.
​
If you remember when the music and the lyrics were the only things that mattered, take a walk with Sweet Limb. It will live with you forever.
