Allan Kingdom I “BLESSED”
Allan Kingdom creates a chill vibe with “BLESSED“ off of his EP IDDTFM (I Don’t Do This For Money). Allan Kingdom has been buzzing in the industry since he first came on the scene in 2014. He is an artist from Canada with a Tanzanian and South African background. Kingdom was raised in Minnesota. Each piece of his background influences his sound. Kingdom’s influence includes Kid Cudi, Kanye West, and Pharrel.
“BLESSED” has been placed on the Apple Music “Alt Rap” playlist. Alternative sound is Kingdom’s specialty. His creativity is apparent in every bar and he creates a lot of variety within a single track. Kingdom’s flow is very similar to Kid Cudi in his early days with a touch of Pharrell. His musicality with his vocals and the composition of the track are similar to Kanye West’s style slightly after his first album, Graduation.
The hook is super catchy and there is a lot of different sound variety within the song that makes it addictive to listen to. Each time you listen to “BLESSED” you will hear something you didn’t notice on the previous play. “BLESSED” is hopeful, positive, and full of optimism.
