Kyle Bent - born in Jamaica but raised outside Boston since the age of 2 - has been honing his freestyle and songwriting skills since the 3rd grade. At the time, the now 19-year old was a fan of Ludacris, Andre 3000, and Lil Wayne, but until a friend introduced him to the art of rapping it did not occur to him to try it himself. It wasn't long before Kyle was recording rap records in the closet of his parent's home.
Fast forward to the summer of 2010; Bent was introduced to his current music engineer, Tarik McFarland, who saw Kyle's potential and took him under his wing. It was 2014's highly acclaimed music video, "Mind Control" that put Bent on the map. Hip Hop DX noted, "...the burgeoning wordsmith proves he's a little ahead of his peers with insightful lyrics and hard-hitting messages revolving around perseverance." Following the release of the 2016 acclaimed track "Higher Power," Kyle signed with Made In The Shade Records. Since then, Kyle Bent has released numerous tracks and mixtapes and headlined at countless venues and music festivals. 2017 is provign to be a busy one for Kyle with more singles on the horizon, including features with Joyner Lucas, Michael Christmas, and more.
