"Let's get live with kid sensation!"

Seattle rap icon, Kid Sensation, has sold over 1.5 million records and is still entertaining the masses. His LIVE performances, concerts, books, movies, TedX Talks & all-around passionate personality take us on a hip-hop journey as does his latest album... Presently Past the Future 

Kid Sensation (Xola) can be found spittin' dope rhymes on stages around the world, and speaking his authentic truth to audiences of thousands.  His music is lyrically sharp and triggers nostalgia, taking it back to the hip hop we miss; beats, rhymes and wordplay that capture our imaginations and hearts. For decades the 808 bass, Fosgate amps and 15 inch woofers bumped his debut single, “Back to Boom”.  On stage he captivates audiences with a combination of storytelling and rhyme in his keynote presentations. 

Go ahead - turn up the volume at the family BBQ - all 9 albums are remastered and profanity-free. 

Kid Sensation was discovered at age 15 by PNW legend, Sir-Mix-A-Lot. They dropped hits like "Posse on Broadway,” "Rippin’" & "Baby Got Back" scoring a Grammy Award along the way. Iconic lyrics - "Me and Kid Sensation at home away from home in the black Benz limo with the cellular phone..." or "Let's get LIVE with Kid Sensation!" Kid's solo releases “Back to Boom,” "Seatown Ballers & many others add to the solo career. 

Kid Sensation dropped solo albums and remained tight with Sir-Mix-A-Lot. He also formed a long-time friendship with Seattle Mariners GOAT, Ken Griffey, Jr. in his rookie year after they met while getting their car stereos installed. Griffey even appears on his Power of Rhyme Album on "The Way I Swing.”  

Kid Sensations' latest hit, “Westsyde” has summertime feels and nostalgic throwback nods, paying homage to many iconic Westcoast rappers, many of whom he has performed or toured with. The video features Sir Mix A Lot, Wanz (from Macklemore's smash hit “Thrift Shop”) and a few other recognizable faces.

 When he isn't performing, Kid can be found with his beautiful wife Liberte, in his Mackie sponsored recording studio creating new material, or in the community giving back. “I have a heart to spread hope, love and create meaningful dialogue through various art forms. I want to empower and inspire our youth.” - Xola
