“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, āF*CK YOUR FEELINGSā, we see Kenjiās 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
In the past year,Ā Dro KenjiĀ has established himself as a wordsmith, a master of melodies, a star on the rise, and most recently, a world builder. His music videos feel less like a production put together to showcase a song, but rather, an opportunity to step into Dro Kenjiās universe and experience those songs in their natural habitat. After growing organically into a fan favorite since Kenji performed the track continuously on tour prior to its release on his debut album,Ā WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, today, Dro Kenji shares the music video for project highlight, āUSED2KNOW.ā The track, a fast-paced foray into a painful relationship, showcases Kenjiās mellifluous melodies as he postulates how his once-open heart became a broken one.
TheĀ Aylo-directed video for āUSED2KNOWā builds on the dreamlike world deep inside Dro Kenjiās mind that he first offered a look into on āVANISH,ā and later expanded with āFINDERS KEEPERS,ā ft.Ā Internet MoneyĀ andĀ Scorey. As Kenji takes mental inventory of his plentiful pain and replete remedies, he makes sure to look over his shoulder as demons of malicious memories lurk in his wake, though they never make contact as Dro Kenjiās past seems as weighed down by him as he is by it.
WITH OR WITHOUT YOUĀ arrived 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 atĀ Rolling Loud California. 2021 also saw Kenji release two new mixtapes, includingĀ EAT YOUR HEART OUT, this past spring, featuring āKILL CUPIDā ft.Ā $NOTĀ (13+ million Spotify streams), which received anĀ animated video, and the early summerāsĀ F*CK YOUR FEELINGS, which saw the rapper flex and reflect over 16 tracks of expansive Internet Money production, and features highlights like āSUPERSTARā and āTRANCE.ā
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 Kenjiās rise is a testament to the power of the internet.

Now, heās preparing to release his debut album on Mira Touch/ Internet Money Records/ 10K Projects, collaborating closely with the labelās team of platinum-certified producers, and hoping to earn some plaques of his own.
