Released Nov 30, 2021
KidEight is a Digital artist and motion designer, virtual architect, worldbuilder, and photoshop savant. He frequently amplifies, exaggerates, and sensationalizes archetypical thematics rooted in hip hop and street culture's zeitgeist, juxtaposed with cheeky vulnerability.
His idiosyncratic art style is consistent and acutely experienced through his most widely collected signature art piece, "EVOL": a 2,000-year-old cherub adorned in tattoos, Grillz, razor blades, and ski masks, among other things that don't belong to a baby.
Throughout his 15+ year career, KidEight has worked with Atlantic Records, Def Jam, Future, Gucci Mane, Fabolous, Moneybag Yo, Chris Brown and virtually every rapper and hip hop icon since the turn of the millennium.
KidEight has built a cult-like community and established himself as the fixture character within his rebellious-and-sometimes-ostentatious phygital universe within the NFT ecosystem.
The collectors and community built around EVOL and KidEight are intrinsically rooted in the emotional dissonance of hyper-masculinity and eccentrics reinforced in mainstream and counter-culture. The New York Times described KidEight as "an eccentric, a master of photoshop and logo reappropriations, with a finely honed sense of the absurd."
