KeilyN returns with another new visual after releasing the suspenseful “Reminiscin” video a few weeks back. “TRU” takes place in the Ohio native’s new home, LA, and showcases the artist hustling iPhones out of an ice cream truck, paying homage to Master P & No Limit’s notorious film “I Got The Hook Up.”

KeilyN shows off his lyrical ability as well as his skills on the boards with this smooth bass heavy self-produced record.

Still in the middle of crafting his upcoming project “Dope Never Dies”, KeilyN drops off “TRU” as the official first offering.  Peep the visual at the top of the post and feel free to drop us your thoughts in the comments section.

KeilyN is having a regular day with his homies until it all gets derailed by a routine police stop. He’s in a nice neighborhood with a certain car, and that’s most likely the basis of the stop. A clear case of racial profiling, that’s what he’s trying to bring to the light, with it being a problem in his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, which is ranked first in the U.S. for poverty.

The song and video both drive home points that we need to hear, and it’s good music. Check the video out above and keep your eyes peeled for more KeilyN.

From the artist: “This song is brash because contrary to popular belief Dilla’s music was filled with nothing but fly shit and I like fly shit too (lol).” I don’t know if I would call this a tribute but this is me paying my respects to the greatest to ever do it. #DopeNeverDies.”

KeilyN is back today with an introspective new single, “Late Night.” The rapper is highly relatable on the reflective track, speaking on real life issues we all deal with and how we cope – many of us are kept up by our thoughts long after the sun’s gone down, whether we’re thinking happy thoughts or negative ones. Some of us turn to weed and liquor to help get the feelings out or get our minds going even more. Listen as the rapper gets real on the Jodeci-sampling single, co-produced by KeilyN himself and ACG.

Growing up is rough, especially when it seems your options are limited by your surroundings. KeilyN knows of these growing pains well, which is why he plays the role of the wise & older big brother on his latest release, “Lil Homie.” Having just made the move to Atlanta from Ohio to chase his music dreams, KeilyN can prove that with determination, you can be who you want to be and do what you want to do. Take heed to the lessons at hand,  young’ns – oh, and don’t forget to strap up.

If you’re gonna make a love song, you can’t go wrong with an Aaliyah sample. Promising Ohio talent KeilyN knows this, and lets a slowed down sample of “Come Over” serve as the backdrop on his partially self-produced new single, “Her Song.” Keeping the listener on their toes, KeilyN switches it up mid-song with a beat switch up and takes the ode in a different direction. Take a listen here.
