Klutch Da Rebel

Khalil “Klutch Da Rebel” Cantey is a 26 year old conscious rapper/songwriter born and raised in Jamaica Queens, NY. Klutch created a sound for himself along with a group of friends and started a music group called Dope Rebels. Dope Rebels consists of Klutch and fellow artist Slyy Cooper along with other curators that creates a sound for the urban youth. Klutch currently has two songs called “Blu-Ray” and “Pink Lemonade” streaming on Spotify and Apple Music and three music videos (“Young Rebels”, “Demons” and “Pink Lemonade) which were co-directed by himself on Youtube. Pink Lemonade was premiered on the Billboard Hip Hop & Elevator Mag blogs while also receiving honors in a Thisis50 article for “Top 8 music videos in an NYC Bodega”. His interest in music started at a young age when family members played Dr Dre, 50 Cent & Jay- Z. These influences started his passion for music and then he discovered the likes of Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & J. Cole. With all of these influences Klutch created a sound for himself along with a group of friends and thus the beginning of "Dope Rebels". This sound landed a opening spot for the likes of Deem Spencer, Oshun and D.C. Young Fly, and on stages all over NYC and New Jersey such as SOB’s, The Knitting Factory, Pianos and many other stages. Creatively, Klutch brings the full art experience, using visuals and sound to portray the message of self love and enlightenment which he plans to do further with his upcoming project “Stay Focused”.
