Acclaimed rapper Dough The Freshkid returns with his latest project called ‘Keys: Keep Evolving Yourself.' The release of Keys has been well worth the year-long wait for fans of the west coast rapper, and it's a decision that Dough The Freshkid says was purposeful.
“It was time for me to release another album,” the rapper shared. “My last project dropped a year ago, and I never want to keep my fans waiting for too long, but I don’t want to flood them either. I have to give them enough time to miss me.
It's a project that definitely shows his growth and trajectory as an artist. His career is on the rise and it's no surprise to see that he's continuing the momentum with more heat. When asked about the message that he hopes audiences take away from ‘Keys: Keep Evolving Yourself,' DTFK said, “The title itself, keep evolving yourself. As an independent artist, I’m trying to show growth through my business moves, attitude and music. The whole goal is to continue to grow and become better than you were yesterday.”
The album, which includes 14 tracks and contains a distinct lineup of guest artists (including Cuzzy Capone, Tayf3rd, and Snubbalito), functions as an audio biography, highlighting Dough The Freshkid's musical path, life on the streets, and, most ominously, his development attitude.
“As an independent artist, I’m trying to show growth through my business moves, attitude, and music. The whole goal is to continue to grow and become better than you were yesterday,” Dough said in a recent interview.
Keys: Keep Evolving Yourself is a project that you can keep on your playlist rotation. It's genuinely a vibe and provides a soundtrack that you can ride to, cook to, and ultimately vibe to throughout any time of the day. It's the perfect project for hip-hop lovers searching for a blend of vintage rhythm loops, high-quality lines, and an inside glimpse into the life of a hustler.
“We really took our time with Keys, so we don’t want to end it here with just music,” he said. “Hopefully, later in the year, I can debut a seven-part video movie series of Keys to the world. We’ve already started production.”
With a visual album hopefully coming next, audiences have much to look forward to. In the meantime, Keys: Keep Evolving Yourself is currently available to stream on all streaming platforms. Check out the complete album below, and stay up to speed with Dough The Freshkid's latest news!
