Kanayo King is a Nigerian-American hip-hop artist and singer/songwriter who recently release a new track "Pot of Gold" which we featured here last week! "Pot of Gold" is off of King's upcoming, debut album The Kanayo Complex set to be released later this year. The newest single comes after a Soundcloud hit for Kanayo, "Tonight" which firmly landed him his spot within the music industry. King is bringing a unique and refreshing face to hip-hop, serving catchy tunes and choruses and still talking about real-life topics.

“It’s the greatest love story never told. The record explains a previous situation that I was in, but creates an opportunity for my story to actually be heard. Too often, we don’t get to vocalize our side of what happened. Sometimes pride gets in the way, sometimes we just don’t know how to say what needs to be said. The record is full of unapologetic apologies that explain a man’s bag full of broken hearts.” – Kanayo King

We caught up with Kanayo to ask him a few, open-ended questions based around his upcoming release! Check out the interview as well as the video for "Pot of Gold" below!

I am inspired by…
Bone Thugs N Harmony,  Radiohead, Sade, T.I., and Tupac.

To me, The Kanayo Complex means...
An introduction into the world of Kanayo’s King

When fans hear The Kanayo Complex I want them to feel...
 My soul projected on different platforms

My favorite part of creating this album was...
It’s still being created, but so far, it’s been getting everything recorded.

My biggest accomplishment in 2016 was...
Weeding out all of the bullsh*t from 2015.

In 2017 I want to…
Go on tour and give my fans more live performances.
