Born and raised in the Bronx, NY - Kemba is a product of the once burning borough. As a teen, Kemba grew up in the world of organizing and activism as a founding member of the RDACBX - a community organization in the South Bronx - all while making his name in clubs he was “technically” too young to perform in. From a breakout performance on XXXTentacion’s “Daemons” to an appearance in the award-winning film “40-Year-Old Version,” Kemba has been on quite the journey since Kendrick Lamar told the world to “remember that name.” His last album “Gilda” was a beautiful tribute to his late mother, featuring artists like Jagged Edge, Smino, and Portugal The Man. Now, he’s expanded into visual storytelling, starring in the documentary “As We Speak” (Paramount+/MTV, 2024 Sundance Film Festival) where he uncovers the history of rap lyrics being used as criminal evidence in court.
