Stylistically left-of-center rapper, songwriter, and producer Kweku Collins was the subject of major press attention before he graduated high school in his native Evanston, Illinois. In 2015 he signed to Closed Sessions, an independent label based in nearby Chicago, and opted to concentrate on music rather than accept an invitation to enroll at Columbia College. His discography steadily expanded throughout the next few years, with each release contributing to an increase in his fan base. Collins has also appeared on tracks by the likes of frequent collaborators and in-house Closed Sessions producers OddCouple and Boathouse, as well as RITUAL and Layna, among others. ~ Andy Kellman
