Bay Area rapper Fresh Kymm has released his flagship single
and accompanying video “Be Friends.” In “Be Friends,” Kymm explains in no
uncertain terms that he is available in the most gentlemanly fashion to his
compatriots of the female variety, and that they should by no means feel
uncomfortable coming to him for tenderness, compassion and (ahem) comfort
whenever their need should arise. The real art of his lyrics (and of his poise
in the video) is that he manages to communicate this intent in a remarkably
charming manner that allows the listener to smile with him and agree with his
devil-may-care attitude, although Kymm’s rapping, itself, is more than worth
the price of admission.
The song is a delightfully jaunty one, which is not
surprising because Fresh Kymm is a refreshingly debonaire rapper from Oakland
with an easygoing tone to his style that is reminiscent of Warren G, and
incidentally with a degree from Clark Atlanta University, also. His mannerisms,
though audible in the single, itself, are perhaps most endearing in the video
(which video is a product of Eleven Four Productions and remarkably
well-directed by James Calhoun, who has worked with Tupac Shakur and Mario Van
Peebles, among others). Both hearing him rap on the recording and seeing him do
so in the video make strong arguments that Kymm is, himself, a genuinely nice
person, which adds a warmth and humor to “Be Friends” that would seem merely
flippant or even misogynistic if it were performed by a rapper with less class,
or by one with less panache.
In his professional life, Fresh Kymm is known as
Kymm Wilson: Professional Homie, which moniker could not possibly be worn in
earnest by any other successful businessman. Kymm’s friendliness and apparent
honesty is further reflected in his plain speech. “I create music from the
heart,” he says. “I find the postive things in life and create feel-good
moments that are memorable through music.”
The artist, who lists among his most powerful
inspirations Marvin Gaye, Rob Thomas, Sublime, and Parliament Funkadelic, has
also a simple request of his fans: “Forget about the trouble and smile while
you listen to my music.”
“Be Friends” is available everywhere online beginning
January 11 of 2013.
