“South Carolina rock-infused rapper Dro Kenji has been on a tear since last August when he received a call from the Internet Money team. Releasing project after project, Kenji has been showcasing his impressive vocals and emotion-filled lyrics. With his newest project, âF*CK YOUR FEELINGSâ, we see Kenjiâs most confident and cohesive work.” – Earmilk
“Once he selects a beat, the melodies and lyrics flood over him like an epiphany. The result is raw and heart-sinking music, meant to be a guiding light to fans.” – Audiomack
Fresh off the release of his full-length debut album, Dro Kenji continues to make wistful waves with his poignant pen and mellifluous melodies. After kicking off the weekend with the release of WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, Dro Kenji returns to keep the momentum rolling into the week with new visuals for the albumâs trending single, âFINDERS KEEPERS.â Featuring glossy, dynamic Internet Money production courtesy of Nick Mira, Nash & Taz Taylor, and an infectious hook from Syracuse riser, Scorey. The single finds Dro Kenji navigating his newfound success while maneuvering past opponents to keep his lover close, as he croons, âGot a lot of evil energy, but itâs not mine/Got a lot of evil enemies, and thatâs all fine/But youâre the only thing I worry âbout when Iâm not high.â
The heady Logan Meis-directed visuals (Meisâ other credits include Trippie Redd, Trevor Daniel, Iann Dior) establish a sense of continuity with the otherworldly fantasy aesthetic seen in the video of the albumâs lead single, âVANISH,â with each seemingly offering a peek into the longing, imaginative mind of Dro Kenji. As Kenji voices his diaristic serenade, heâs seen standing alone on a floating island of rock opposite that of his pursued interest as she nears, pulled into his orbit by the gravity of weighted emotions.
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU arrives after a banner year for the young artist, which saw him embark on his first headlining national tour, which he wrapped up with a performance at Rolling Loud California. 2021 also saw Kenji release two new mixtapes, including EAT YOUR HEART OUT, this past spring, featuring âKILL CUPIDâ ft. $NOT (12 million Spotify streams), which received an animated video, and the early summerâs F*CK YOUR FEELINGS, which saw the rapper flex and reflect over 16 tracks of expansive Internet Money production, and features highlights like âSUPERSTARâ and âTRANCE.â
Never one to rest on his laurels, Dro Kenji is only just starting his rise. Stay tuned for much more from the prolific artist as he continues his ascent to the highest echelons of the rap game.

Dro Kenjiâs rise is a testament to the power of the internet. Last year, the 19-year-old artist was a senior in high school in South Carolina, releasing a string of captivating singles and mixtapes on his SoundCloud. Now, heâs preparing to release his debut album on Mira Touch/ Internet Money Records/ 10K Projects, collaborating closely with the labelâs team of platinum-certified producers, and hoping to earn some plaques of his own. A true child of the digital age, raised on video games and the lo-fi sounds of rapâs online underground, he has a remarkable ability to capture both the apathy and aspiration of his generation in his songs and a spellbinding voice with which to tell these stories.
