Kwamé comes full circle as he reemerges as an artist with his single, “Ms Mary Mack.” The rhymes are set off with creative name-calling and he says the music is juke joint vibes over hip-hop beats. It’s a surprise from the man who came on the scene as the Boy Genius in the late ’80s and became a very busy producer in the 2000s. “Ms Mary Mack” is the first song from his album, The Different Kids. A conversation with DJ Tat Money while listening to the theme from Diff’rent Strokes inspired Kwamé to start rapping again. The result was “Stroke Dif’Rent” and feedback he received from the song encouraged him to complete an album. It’s clear from the visual for “Ms Mary Mack” that Kwamé is having fun again as a rapper and he even wears his trademark polka dots. In regard to the album title, he says, “The album title explains how I always felt as a person. I didn’t necessarily align with mainstream life. I’ve always felt different. Putting the “Kids” part of the title as plural, it’s a double thing. It speaks to the people who used to get into my music. I would refer to them as The Different Kids.”
The Different Kids is scheduled for an August 29th release date. It will be Kwamé’s first album in three decades and he will be the latest Gen X rapper to come out with a full-length project. Watch the visual for “Ms Mary Mack,” and if you weren’t around then or if it’s been a while, listen to Kwamé the Boy Genius: Featuring a New Beginning.
