Kaelin Ellis shares brand new single ‘Ain’t You Mad (Feat. Guapdad 4000, Buddy & Kenny Mason)’

Kaelin Ellis returns with dynamic new single ‘Ain’t You Mad (Feat. Guapdad 4000, Buddy & Kenny Mason)’. This new release marks the second single to be lifted from Kaelin Ellis’ upcoming album ‘You Are Here, Start’, set for release 21st June via Fool's Gold Records. 

Listen to ‘Ain’t You Mad’

Both rough and raw, ‘Ain’t You Mad’ is rich in an edgy alternative hip-hop vibrancy that is both genre-bending and diverse in sound. By bringing together Guapdad 4000, Buddy and Kenny Mason on the track, as a collective they deliver an eclectic, hip-hop centered sound which is multidimensional in the varied influences and skills they seamlessly incorporate.

Last month Kaelin kicked off his next musical chapter with the first offering from his upcoming album ‘You Are Here, Start’ which was titled ‘Celebration’ feat Tobi & Anomalie, and came complete with an array of slick and smooth contemporary jazz notes, merged with a distorted electronic ambiance throughout. 

Wonderland - “Kaelin Ellis has cultivated a uniquely eclectic creative vision, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres including jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music. His work defies categorization, resulting in a distinctive sonic identity that is truly his own.”

METAL Magazine - “Captivating, sensuous, and almost healing, his new single has us already craving for more songs of his upcoming album to come out.”
