Kevin Abstract

Kevin Abstract is the de facto leader of the hip-hop boyband Brockhampton. He recently left his home state of Texas, moving to Los Angeles along with his Brockhampton compatriots. At the young age of 20, he has already developed a concrete image both on stage and online and is commanding attention due to his progressive music as well as his carefully curated visual presentation. After releasing his acclaimed debut album MTV1987 in 2014, he set out to make his followup album - working tediously on many versions of soon arriving sophomore album. Today Abstract is sharing a short film for the song "Empty," the first taste from his forthcoming album. The forthcoming LP is entitled American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story. Arriving later this year, nearly one year after Abstract released the relatable genre-blended single "ECHO". The Kevin Abstract directed video for "Empty" speaks to Kevin's upbringing in Texas, but the suburban backdrop is reminiscent of Anytown, USA; relatable for an entire generation that grew up in suburban sprawl on a course dictated by the Internet and its implications on culture. In November, Kevin will be playing at this year's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, the festival run by one of his heroes' Tyler, the Creator. Check out the video for "Empty" above and stay tuned for more news about the arrival of American Boyfriend.
