Khemist

Hip-hop. Experimental. SOULful Music. What do you get when you put all of this into a blender and crank it up? You get something quite different, of course. You get Philadelphia’s own, Khemist. Viewed as what others may see as a child Khemist has the passion for music of an old soul. Khemist’s only motive is none other than putting out good music, while helping those who listen have a better understanding of the art behind it. Philadelphia is greatly known for the amount of talent it oozes from its four corners on the map. Boys to Men, Jill Scott, The Roots, Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff are just to name a few. While Philadelphia is currently known for its violent and sickening crime rate, there is still light shining in this darkness. Khemist hopes to be the beacon for this light, acknowledging the fact that there are other options for success, rather than a gun and a mask. Khemist doesn’t want to be known as another great rapper. Inspired heavily by the other greats to have come from his city, Khemist would rather be recognized as one of the most influential musical artists to have ever blessed the microphone. If one was to compare Khemist to another artist, you would probably hear his lyrical style being paralleled to the likes of Lauryn Hill and Lupe Fiasco, while his creativity and mind is in a class of its own due to his individuality. Calling himself a “weirdo”, it is definitely noticed yet appreciated in his music. Take a listen. He’s in the lab and he’s ready. He’s Khemist.
