Kai Lok
Hip hop (emotionally conscious)My name is Kai Lok (“kay-lock”) and I'm a Minneapolis musician weaving my truth and story into every lyric. Being vulnerable about my mental health, emotionally open as a man, and passionate about our shared connection as human beings is integral to my artistry and lifestyle. I make emotionally conscious hip hop, combining singing and rapping with trap, emo, pop, and electronic elements. I bring performances to life through crowd participation and call-and-response choruses. My live lyric videos accentuate this, and I love mixing it up with acoustic guitar, explosive energy, and melancholic intimacy. I love making lyric videos because my message is at the heart of all my art. After all, “Lok” is my Chinese given name, which means I keep my word.
