KIDD G RELEASES ACOUSTIC TRACK AND MUSIC VIDEO FOR BREAKOUT COUNTRY SONG “DIRT ROAD”

Today, Fast-rising country star Kidd G releases a stripped-down acoustic video for his breakout hit song “Dirt Road”. The video is a heartfelt reimagining of the viral track, putting an even heavier emphasis on the natural talent for storytelling and supreme lyrical skills which propelled Kidd G to the mainstream in the past year.

This release arrives on the heels of Teenage Dream: 1000 Miles from Georgia, the deluxe version of Kidd G’s debut EP, Teenage Dream, a six-track project which features the chart-climbing breakthrough single. a dynamic collision of potent beats and gritty yet melodic guitar work working together on the 17-year-old’s first solid body of work. Throughout the EP, that sound creates a powerful backdrop to the slice-of-life songwriting many fans first discovered on “Dirt Road” — the October 2020 release that quickly landed on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and amassed 5 million YouTube views in little over a month on the official music video (13M views to date). His unique strain of honest songwriting recently caught the attention of CMT, who hailed the song as “earwarming and undeniable”.

Hailing from the western Georgia town of Hamilton (population 1,130), Kidd G first started singing at the age of 11 and began recording songs in his bedroom at age 15. While early tracks like his debut single “Sorry” lean toward traditional hip-hop, he later brought an element of old-school country into his songwriting. As he continued posting his music on SoundCloud, Kidd G soon amassed a dedicated following undeniably drawn to his down-home charm and the honest detail of his lyrics. Now having surpassed 1.5M monthly Spotify listeners, his tracks have seen radio play from KIXX Country Radio in Australia, and reached new peaks on highly coveted country playlists including Amazon Music’s ‘Country Heat’ (peaked at #2), and Spotify’s ‘Hot Country’ (peaked at #10). Kidd G is now back in the studio and eager to share all new music that will continue to showcase his unique raw talent.
