Be Kay on SoundBetter

I love to create. Whether I am writing music or poems, I am most happy when I am creating. I practice this passion a lot. I turn the boring sidewalks and exteriors of buildings into playgrounds with Parkour and everyday sounds and words into a rhythmic melody. I'm always thinking and looking at things differently. Lets see what we can create!

I am a successful rapper, songwriter. I have written hundreds of verses for myself as well as other artists, Jingles and specific events. These verses have earned me work with notable rappers in the industry such as Fred the Godson, $wagg Dinero etc.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
