KAMI is a rapper and songwriter from Chicago’s South Side, known for blending sharp lyricism with forward-thinking production and a style that slips between nostalgia and futurism. A standout voice from the city’s influential SaveMoney collective — alongside names like Vic Mensa and Chance the Rapper — KAMI has built a sound rooted in duality: classic and experimental, smooth and jagged, deeply local and cosmically untethered.
Drawing from early 2000s rap, punk aesthetics, and anime-drenched daydreams, KAMI's music moves with intention. Whether solo or in collaboration, his work feels lived-in and cinematic — part coming-of-age film, part open wound. He’s not here to chase trends. He’s here to make his own world and invite you in.
