KP Tha Profit - Fuxx Tha Industry (Album)
We mentioned in October last year that we felt KP Tha Profit was slowly working on an upcoming project when he dropped his “Go Crazy” single. He may even hint with replies that we were spot on to this theory but kept most of it locked down. It wasn’t until he started 2022 with two prominent singles, “Standin On Biness” with FMG Knotts & “Cheat Codes” with Cre, that we felt more confident that something was stewing in the vault from KP and he was ready to make its way out for the people to feast on. Sure enough, as KP mapped out his blueprint, he awaited to drop a new project that’s been in the works for four steady years, where he started to unwrap the rollout for his latest album titled “Fuxx Tha Industry” at the beginning of July. From a listening party to a sit-down interview on Mazi’s World, KP constructed a foundation for his release that was welcome last Friday on all DSPs with an extensive clothing line to help accompany the drop. Eight records with a few previously released tracks while most of the project was unreleased, including a surprised feature from Liveola while the production was laced by none other than Veno The Builder. This project is just the latest magnum opus in KP’s catalog and precisely one of the sharpest releases we’ve come across here in the city recently.
The intro record titled “Big Dawg” is precisely how you think a KP intro sounds like; he sits you down to explain how the game done changed. He’s come up off loyalty, hard work, and grinding while others may think putting money up will get you the fast way to the top. There’s a lot of knowledge he’s kicking; it’s best to get out a pen & pad when coming across a record like this; matter of fact, I would keep it handy since a lot of gems are spilling out throughout this project. “On This End” is the first featured record with Cre you’ll hear but certainly won’t be the last; both these artists channel some of the leftover essences from their highly acclaimed “Profit City” project and evolution it into something more significant. It’s a hard push of immaculate raps with stunning production pushing each other’s pen. Ain’t “No Smut” on his resume; KP undoubtedly talks his shit on the record explaining how street economics got his life living grand. No reason to fake the funk; that’s not how bosses move; KP speaks on the restless night of hard-working to experience more nights of a lavish lifestyle. Grind hard is the key to success; Liveola got the game on lock when it comes to putting in work.
Mere days after being locked down for years, Liveola hasn’t looked back, kept his head in the right mind state, and has looked forward ever since. Of course, “Go Crazy & Standin On Biness” were already highlighted joints we talked about outside of the project, yet when speaking on their additions to the rest of the record, it fits perfectly for the remaining tracks. “All Profit” is KP’s victory lap; he’s constructed a record telling you about his sales and moves to make a profit. Shit doesn’t happen overnight, don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise; take it from KP’s word that building an empire took time, and when it was ready, it opened doors to see days that they can only dream of becoming real. The remaining unreleased track, “Ball Together,” speaks on the brotherhood and support system KP has; I’m sure there were days that seemed more challenging than most, and while giving up is an option, it wasn’t for KP. His people stood by the ups and downs, so when he ball, they ball together, the same way if he loses, they do too, but he has too much in his life to ever think about defeat, and that’s where KP stands proudly. With the moments I had with the album, I found myself studying KP’s words more and more; he doesn’t preach but teaches us as listeners. There’s wisdom in his raps; he doesn’t do this for the fun of it; take the project title, for example, “Fuxx Tha Industry” he’s referencing that he didn’t need the industry blueprint to make it successful. He did this with his own blood, sweat, and tears. He didn’t go the usual route; he found another way to become successful with haters and doubters attempting to feed off what’s left of him. Heart and dedication made KP which is why it’s a middle finger to those thinking he needs them to make it; as far as the city is concerned, he’s made it, and we champion that.
I don’t know what more KP has in store for the project’s release; I’m sure there are a few tricks up his sleeve he’s working on, hell I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s working on a show to perform some of these records in a live setting. I don’t want to be spot on with my guesses, so we’ll wait until more surfaces, but in the new highly recommended you check out his latest project here while sharing it around on all social media avenues.
