SoundClick artist: CarolinaKyd - C. Khid Music Recordings. Carolina Hip-Hop recording artist and writer, this is the home page of C.K

my debut album is releasing August 2009: Pre-Order now please!

Excuse the non-updatedness of this front page if you caught it earlier. I appreciate the support as I see i got people adding me as fans now and My stations are adding up.

I'm putting out music weekly right about now as soon as I hear something I like and can put osme life to.

Most of my music is self expression and takes a person who's been somewhere to understand.

I've rapped since jam boxes came out and you had to rap in the speakers b/c you didnt' have a microphone.... Think Run DMC was the first thing I tried to rap as a kid.... all shy to my mom when she found the tape like "nahhh.... nahh.. thats nothing" haha

I got a passion for the arts like Tupac and hope to express things going on in the world to depth he did. I got a big heart and an open mind, trying to find my most useful position in the cipher.

Build never destory.. The money is just paper.... Unconditional Love... this is what i'm trying to make my music about eventhough I get caught up in the American culture at times. Listen to me, you might like what I say!

Much love to all. Check out my favorite sites:

Why this name?

I used to be Carolina Kyd as people from home called me Kyd and i moved elsehwere and they called me Carolina Kyd

Growing up, I wanted something different. "C. Khid".... Carolianian Keeping His Illest Dreamings..... as in I'm never going to stop going for mine and i will win no matter what in this lifetime.

A man I stand, never afraid of any man, no matter what position he holds in life. I keep my dreams alive. I'm living them.

Do you play live?

I rapped llive like once or twice. Was hilarious because I came back from a college break to get with the people i rapped with.. and they didn't tell me you could not curse at this mall talent showcasing by the radio station.. so I'm just saying all kinds of stuff from the rap and people start looking at me like i'm crazy as i walk off LOL... is what it is though .. was fun

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Plain and simple, the mp3 world gives budding artists more opportunity for exposure. Mp3 is such a common thing from the i-pods and all that to the desktop computer, everyone can play them. GREAT EXPOSURE and potentially good money if they find a way to control it.

I miss the good old tape casset days though. If an artist was trash on their songs, they would get that fast boot and over/ out

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

If the iron is hot, of course i'm going to strike it. If a label can sign me.... get me some good marketing.... and give me freedom to do what i want... we can rock no doubt

Starting a web site soon.

Your influences?

Run DMC.. the first song I rapped into a jam box speaker since I had no mic. Walk This Way

Tupac Shakur, I grew up to this man's work and saw his character beyond the media's smoke screen. Inpsired me to educate myself and go harder. Tupac Shakur definitely influences my thoughts, even when i get too caught up into the material world.

Jay-Z, Def Jam President, Rocafella Records CEO....... the hustle

Sade, she's the one that teaches you the meaning of emotion to me.... as Tupac siad Unconditional love.. she just brings it deeper and good for that kick back

All the cats who drop beats on Soundclick. I hear a hot beat on here and next thing you know I'm writing a song. BIG UPS!

Favorite spot?

Anywhere in the Carolinas is good for me pretty much. Greenville, sc... Charlotte, NC.... Raleigh, NC.... Greensboro, NC... Myrtle Beach, SC... charleston SC.. columbia SC>.. you name it, i'm with it.

Outside of the C-States...... Las Vegas, NV... i rocks hard with the Vegans

Jersey City, New Jersey.. downtown blocks... i gets down with all my peoples round there

Toronto, Canada... AY! man
