Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi I am Kaleb Harper, or better known as KK McFly. I am an up and coming music producer from a small town in Missouri and I am just looking to have a spot in today's hip hop industry. I have been making beats for roughly one year and am now finally finding my way around things and am hoping to be a big inspiration to other up and comers as well.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I really came into loving music whenever I was a sophomore in high school. I met a buddy of mine that year who was wanting to become a rapper and I thought that shit was cool so I thought why not buddy with him and learn the hip hop ways. I always liked hip hop but I only played super main stream shit because I hardly listened to music then. Mostly it just contained old Carter III stuff, Eminem, Kid Cudi, 2Chainz, Big Sean and some ATCQ when it came to hip hop.
I'm not too close with him now sadly, but he definitely inspired me to start making beats in the first place and I really got into the process my senior year, so shoutout to Derek for real.
My biggest producer influences today would have to beat Ness, Wondagurl, Sonny Digital, TM88, CashMoneyAp, BigHead, Metro Boomin, and Mike-Will-Made-It. Their beats are always so well organized and clean and banging and I hope one day I am able to work with each of these producers. They are my idols.
Ness especially because he is one of the real ones that has given me advice on this whole thing recently and how to promote my beats and it is what is really getting me attention nowadays, so shouts to him one time.
I have been making beats for exactly a year now and I have not lost one ounce of love for it. I don't think Ill ever stop making music, this shit is my everything now on god.
It took me a slow start but as of recently I have started to gain a smaller following out of no where, with emails daily asking for my beats. I have been pushing my beats more than ever lately because of that and a buddy of mine, '9seven Beats. His beats are better than mine I think and it pushes me to make better, hotter beats.
What´s new right now?
Soon Ill be doing tutorials on my youtube channel and collab with many artists and other producers such as '9seven Beats and The Grit Brothers; Majestic, who has a song dropping very soon with my production on it, so be sure to follow him for that heat.
I will also be posting free beats on my youtube channel and my collab channel with '9Seven Called " The Urban Hub " and will have my paypal open to anyone who is willing to throw a couple bucks around to get one of my beats exclusively. I appreciate you all for nominating me and for giving me this opportunity to do this dope ass interview, I love you all for real!
