KeePushinKP Releases New EP, 'Southern Belle'



Rising from the depths of the American South, KeePushinKP emerges as a compelling voice in contemporary hip-hop. Her latest EP, Southern Belle, doesn’t just mark a milestone in her career—it declares her arrival. Rooted in grit and grace, the project offers a raw, soulful glimpse into the life of an artist shaped by hardship, determination, and unapologetic authenticity.


KeePushinKP was born in Ruleville, Mississippi, a town steeped in civil rights history and Southern resilience. Her journey has taken her through the musical corridors of St. Louis, Memphis, and Kentucky, each city adding texture and tone to her evolving sound. Over the past decade, she’s sharpened her craft, building a lyrical voice that reflects both vulnerability and strength. Her stage name isn’t just a moniker—it’s a mindset: relentless forward motion.


In 2020, her life changed dramatically when she survived a shooting that left her with multiple gunshot wounds. The trauma might have silenced another artist, but KeePushinKP turned pain into purpose. She returned to music with renewed urgency, transforming her platform into one that advocates for survivors of violence. Her songs, laced with defiance and soul, are cathartic declarations of survival.


Southern Belle captures her growth—both as an artist and a woman reclaiming her narrative. Influenced by artists like Lauryn Hill’s introspective poetry, Big K.R.I.T.’s Southern storytelling, and Nicki Minaj’s fearless charisma, she blends those elements into something wholly her own. Her delivery is deliberate, her rhymes sharp, her perspective unfiltered. There’s a rare honesty that threads through every track, grounded in her Southern roots yet expansive in reach.


Now promoting the EP across the West Coast, KeePushinKP is widening her impact without losing touch with her origin. Each performance becomes a conversation between her past and her present, between survival and celebration. She doesn’t chase trends; she crafts timeless statements through rhythm and truth.


With Southern Belle, KeePushinKP proves she’s not just another regional talent. She’s a voice forged in struggle and refined through resilience. Her music stands as testimony—not only to what she’s endured, but to what she’s destined to become. In a genre often defined by bravado, she offers something rarer: grounded ambition and fearless vulnerability.
