Quiet as it’s kept, Dom Kennedy is on the forefront of hip-hop as far as up-and-coming rappers in L.A. are concerned. Although the Leimert Park native has no big industry co-signs or a label deal, there’s one thing that’s almost impossible to overlook—his overwhelming fan base.
It’s been almost a year since From The Westside, With Love dropped and took Dom zig-zagging across the country and abroad doing shows (traveling as far as Djibouti, Africa). The mixtape ultimately put him in a position to start seeing things a little differently.
Dom’s new mixtape, The Original Dom Kennedy, which dropped yesterday, intends to be more of a reflection of the way the Cali rapper wants to express himself as an artist from here on out. It features ten all-new tracks, all original production, and is a throwback to Dom’s beginnings in music as well as a nod to authenticity and ingenuity.
