Kid Fob’s story begins in Lower Roxbury, Boston—a place that shaped his hunger and tested his resolve. Early hardships forced him overseas to Togo, his native country in Africa, where distance only sharpened his vision of what he wanted: to return and turn struggle into sound.
When he came back for his senior year of high school, the stage was quietly being set. At UMass, chance encounters with future collaborators James Melvin (VENICE.FM) and engineer Josh Schuback who gave him the tools to forge his path. Soon after, his breakout single Duffy erupted on SoundCloud, crossing a million streams and proving that his voice could carry beyond his block.
Performances around Boston followed, with stages alongside A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Trippie Redd hinting at the scale of where his journey could go. Collaborations like Break Walls with Mikey Milano and How to Feel with Doobie 83 rooted him deeper into the city’s scene, while his debut mixtape Better Now Than Never marked a defining chapter—turning ambition into a body of work.
Kid Fob’s artistry is fueled by a mix of pain, resilience, and aspiration. Drawing influence from Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Future, and Juice WRLD, he blends emotional delivery with inventive flows, weaving his past struggles with visions of the life he’s determined to claim.
Every song is another step out of Roxbury and into something greater. For Kid Fob, the journey is just beginning—and the world is starting to listen
