On December 28th, KGP announced his plans to take a hiatus from making music.
The death of his father has made him realize just how short life really is. So, he has decided to focus his time on fulfilling his other dreams and spending more time with his family.
You can still pick up all of KGP’s music by heading to iTunes or CDbaby. KGP’s full statement from his website is below.
First and foremost I want to thank each and everyone of you for your undying support. Over the next few months or more, I will be gone from existence. I will still be on social media once and a while checking in and what not, but for the most part, you won’t hear to much from me.
My studio gear has been unplugged and packed away, therefore, there will be no collabs and no recording from me for a while. If we had something arranged, it should have happened earlier. For now it is too late. I’m not dead, therefore, feel free to hit me up anytime. I’ve made so many friends with this music shit, and I don’t plan on losing any. I’m still Kap and still respect and appreciate you all.
I have decided to take a break with music and fulfill my other life long dreams. Dreams that involve my family. Lately I have been packing up my house, and giving it a full make over. Painting…etc.. to get it ready for show quality… In hopes I will be able to move soon. Once my house sells, I will be building a new home. So that will involve alot of my time. Time I can no longer give to my music.
I’ve always said that if I built a new house it would have a room dedicated to a new studio, but right now.. a studio is the last thing on my mind.
What’s kinda fucked up.. is that I’ve reached a point where sales are extremely good. So many new fans hearing KGP for the first time, because of Forced Evil. That album became a top seller right behind Tha Ungod, with a quickness.. Yet, I’m ready to wash it all away. With the death of my Father, I realized that life is short. And I’m missing way too much of it, because of my music.
So, yes, I will be done with music for a while.. does this mean retirement? I don’t know. I just know that the time is now for me to do what I think is best.
For those of you that have KGP tattoos, keep repping that shit. KGP for life!!! My music aint going nowhere… keep that shit playing for years to come. And for those that think I have failed, You are mistaken. I am leaving for now, not because of failure. I have succeeded beyond my expectations. I have gained so much more than money and recognition. I gained life long friends and fans. My whole life, I have been able to balance music and a real job. And make good money doing both… To me that is success. Being able to work, play, and put away for my families future is the american dream. And i’ve done it with honesty and integrity. I have never once done anything foul to gain exposure or make money. Ask anyone around and they will tell you, KAP IS A GOOD PERSON.
Music will always be a part of me, so you never know what lies in my future. But one thing I can assure you, is I will always be a fan. Especially a fan of Underground music.
My albums will always be available on CDBABY, Itunes, Spotify, Amazon, Etc…. Etc…. Hard copies will always be available at cdbaby.
This isnt goodbye… I will still be poking my head in and around.. but for now.. it’s see you later.
Thank you ALL!!
