Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, KushBlowinDre is carving out a space in a city known for its rich musical legacy. With deep roots in Trap and Drill, Memphis’s music scene continues to thrive—and KushBlowinDre is right in the middle of it. “The music scene in Memphis is amazing; it’s mostly trap music and drill music,” he says, capturing the pulse of his hometown’s sound.
For KushBlowinDre, making music is about more than beats and rhymes. It’s a personal journey with a powerful mission. “My main concern or goal in my music career is to make music for myself and others and show that people with mental illness can be great at it too—just like other greats.” His words reflect a commitment to representation, healing, and authenticity in an industry often driven by image.
When asked what he would change about the music industry, his answer is clear: “If I could change one thing about the music industry, the only thing I would change is the Rap Beef.” It’s a simple yet poignant statement that speaks to a desire for unity and longevity in a genre sometimes marred by conflict. KushBlowinDre is more than just a rapper—he’s a storyteller with purpose, a creative force determined to use his platform for change. As he continues to grow, his voice may well become one of the defining sounds of a new generation of Memphis artists.
