40 Kel

WHATS GOOD WITH YA'LL. IT'S YA BOY 40 KEL STRAIGHT OUT OF MEMPHIS TEN. DOIN MY THING SINCE 82 OUT THE WOMB. HA HA HA



40 Kel is one of Memphis’ hottest upcoming artists in the industry. 40 Kel, born and raised in North Memphis around the Nutbush area, was destined to entertain from the second he could walk and talk. Acting a fool, cutting up, and getting in trouble helped mold this unique individual to the man he is today. He brings his experiences and real talk outlook to his music. He feels that you gain more respect when you bring reality to your music. “I can only give you me and what I have seen and felt”, is what he believes in, in anything you do. He began free styling back in high school when he saw one of his classmates, who is now Miscellaneous, beating on tables and rapping in class. From then on he knew that is what he wanted to do. He went on for years just free styling and writing whatever came to mind, until one day he and long time friend Bulletproof Andy decide to take it to the next level. They hit it big with their first single “Ghost Gangsta”, which became an instant classic throughout Memphis, and set them on their way to stardom. 40 Kel then went on by himself to take the industry by storm. With the mentoring of DJ Zirk he learned the industry and how to sell himself, which brought him together with DJ Twinkie of IWE Records. Now hooked up with DJ Twinkie, 40 Kel has had that taste of success.There is no stopping him from reaching the top! With his catchy hooks, ferice lyrics, a dash of comedy, and a real down to earth guy you can't help but love this kid. He even has his own segment on Q107.5 called, "The Rapping Movie Review” every Friday morning which airs at 7:30am and at 9:30am in Memphis.
