Philadelphia rapper, KIR, drops his new, 8-track EP, Hometown Hero. The project comes with the news of KIR reaching over 4 million views on his YouTube channel, certainly with the help of his latest visual, "Jiggin."

The EP details KIR's challenges to date, capturing his rugged journey to becoming a local celebrity. Throughout the project sonically, KIR delivers a unique performance effortlessly alternating from melodic singing on the catchy "Diamond in the Rough" to poignant lyricism on "Ghetto Gospel."

From the basketball court to courtrooms, KIR has experienced more than most. Having lost so many of his peers to street life, listeners can feel the pain in his music, but KIR isn't here to receive sympathy."You don't got to do what I did. I want y'all to learn from my mistakes, and let the music motivate you to put other n***** on, so they can make a way," KIR shares with us.
