Kilo Tae | ‘Bruce Wayne’, Melancholy Melodic Banger

The North East Baltimore rapper plays upon our childhood hero Batman and elegantly captures the thrill of speeding through life with purpose. Kilo Tae’s sound on this record feels like a mixture from Speaker Knockerz, Lil Tjay, and modern melodic rappers that set ablaze to the forefront of Hip-Hop.
The Ran and Palace co-produced beat plays on your psyche with jangling hi-hats and a lead melody that paints the canvas for Kilo Tae to go to work.
