    Artist description
    Smooth, orchestrated funk on a layed-back tip.
    Artist History
    Coming straight from the backwoods of the Midwest, King D breaths a refreshing breath of air into the lungs of the music industry. King D's energetic flows and self-produced hard-hitting tracks seem to never to end. One the hottest track layas in the Midwest, Layed-Back Productions definitely possesses a distinct, cool sound that sets it apart from the rest of industry. Undeniably next to none and original, the live clean funk guitar riffs, smooth bass-lines, orchestrated strings, and solid drum beats will make you break your neck. But mix that with some intoxicating vocals & harmonic raps (all done by King D). Now the evenkill is set and chill mode has now kicked in, and this label's cool vibe most definitely upholds it's title - Layed Back. And even though it's hard to believe, and impossible to conceive, all music is produced, played, mixed and engineered by the Maestro King D himself. Now we see why they call him the King! And with much respect, this Oklahoma City native has introduced himself to the music industry with his smashing debut "Country Bunkin". With its addictive, electrifying ear-catching hook, heavy bassline, tight snares, and funky rhythmic waw-waw guitar, "Country Bunkin" will have you wondering, "WHO DAT??!!" King D will have you craving for some of his musical greenery after you catch a contact off that Layed-Back budda. Rather than be a flashy artist, King D raps/sings about his simple, unique country raising (hominy, chitlens, and greens) and subjects that the average fan can relate to but still find quite humorous. He creatively and successfully relays the concept of everyone using his music as a drug and a sedative to relax their mind. "I want music to be like it used to be for the older generations - fun and relaxing. I'm not going to talk about something that I haven't lived and I certainly don't want to spread negativity through my music. We have enough of that in our daily lives. It's time for a change. Let's keep it Layed-Back" Living in the North-west part of the OKC also helped nuture King D's extra-ordinary musical abilities. By meeting and working with a producer friend, King D was able to make a smooth transition into his smooth style, incorporating these diverse techniques into his immense talent. Once people started hearing his top-quality music and addictive melodic hooks, King D became a hot commodity. After winning the DM2 Hip Hop Beats Challenge for Tonos.com with the sizzling cut, "What U Want" given by Rodney Jerkins, King D's talents were undeniably displayed. After listening to all the semifinalist said, Rodney Jerkins said, "What U Want" was the best of all the entries. His (King D's) rapping style was cool. I am considering him for future projects." With more flow than a live-wire, King D continues to spark each track with a hot lyrical performance. The unseemingly endless lyrical energy laced with his warm music beds will most definitely have you innebriated in a world of your own. And after listening to his productions, what else can you say? "WHO DAT??!!" It's Layed-Back!
