Kuji, a new name in the music industry is making waves with their unique and original sound. Despite being based overseas, Kuji’s sound has caught the attention of major artists like Kodak Black, Tory Lanez, and Ty Dolla Sign, with his work appearing on tracks like D Smoke’s “Good Thing” and Kodak Black’s “Some Time Away.”
But Kuji’s influence doesn’t stop there. His samples have also been used by top producers like TM88, FNZ, and ATL Jacob and many more.. And with more collaborations in the works with artists like Doja Cat, NoCap, Tylah Yaweh, Wizzhavin and many others, Kuji’s stock is continuing to rise.
His style and sound go way beyond a typical trap producer – taking in influences as varied as jazz, RnB, classic soul music, lo-fi music, and even seemingly irrelevant genres like dubstep and heavy metal. But despite these disparate ingredients, Kuji’s sound always seems to have his signature flavor.
It’s a sound that’s hard to put your finger on. Guitars make frequent appearances in his work, as do vocals samples, often recorded and performed by Kuji himself. But it’s the overall texture, depth and shape of his sound that really stands out. Whether it’s background ambience that has been deliberately allowed to leak into the microphone, or unusual sounds that have been processed and shaped and used to fill out the record, Kuji always brings a unique sonic palate to the table. His ear is clearly drawn to unusual but still very musical sounds. It’s this unique taste and predilection for a certain kind of sound and vibe that really sets Kuji apart from the hoards of other loopmakers clogging up the inboxes of the industry.
It’s difficult enough to make music that has the quality and creativity to break through in this crowded industry, and it’s even harder to break through whilst creating your own sound and wave. But that’s exactly what Kuji has been doing – and he’s surfing that wave all the way to the top.
