Kura

Michigan rapper & producer Kura (pka Blockboy K) has been a fixture in Detroit’s rap scene since he was 15. His sound combines sharp, purpose-driven songwriting with hard-hitting, versatile production, and his clear creative vision draws from punk’s raw energy and a deep interest in obscure fashion. His 2020 album, Akura, laid the blueprint for the hyperpop subgenre, featuring producers like star boy & Loesoe long before they contributed to the sounds of Playboi Carti & Lil Uzi Vert.
