Have you ever worked out to a podcast? Sure, you can burn calories and build muscle but sometimes - if not all the time - you need an anthem you can keep on repeat mode like Kembe X’s new ‘Pole Vaulting’ single.
Kembe X’s new ‘Pole Vaulting’ goes hard
From start to finish? It’s super fire and the energy level? Insane. So it’s only right to geek out and embrace everything Kembe is serving up on this audio gem.
Hailing from South Chicago and affiliated with the esteemed TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment), Kembe X, who is on a daring mission to fuse the realms of nostalgic hip-hop, experimental trap, and electronic soul, reunites with the brother duo Hippie Sabotage for an unprecedented trap hit “Pole Vaulting“ available to stream now on all digital platforms via BMR/The Orchard – LISTEN HERE.
Known for his work with artists such as Isaiah Rashad, Reason, Guapdad4000, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul, “Pole Vaulting” unleashes Kembe X’s full arsenal as a rapper, as well as Hippie Sabotage’s dark, gritty production. Set as a stylistic departure from his previous work, this trap joint showcases Kembe X’s high-pitched, raspy vocal timbre, juxtaposed with resonant 808 kick drums. Coupled with zany punchlines, his relentless flow finds perfect synergy with the busy hi-hat rhythms. In a testament to his versatility, “Pole Vaulting” again highlights Kembe X’s prowess in seamlessly navigating diverse styles.
“I am an observer, I observe myself, and I observe others. Those observations allow me to express feelings that are directly reflective of my experience, as well as replicate the feelings of literally anybody else that I’ve ever gotten to know,” shares Kembe X. “It’s a way that I get to use my imagination. I can go from being very reserved to very impulsive, so the rush of being in the moment is something that comes across in my stuff as well. I would say that my ultimate intention with my music is to find new ways to show love and have compassion for people in situations where we would usually judge them. And to encourage free expression. I think I do that by being vulnerable and finding new ways to express the things that I feel and the things that I’ve seen whether that be through my words or the emotional movement of a verse, hook, beat or track list.”
