Kid Static

Composer of “Underclass Heroes Theme” intro and outro

Kid Static is Moses Harris Jr, a young man from the south side of Chicago doing his thing on the music scene. No frills, no minks, no spinners or hula girls on the windshield, and definitely no 22″ rims, unless they are tasteful and match the decor.

Birthed under the teat of drum n’ bass wizardry 10 years ago, Kid Static has traded in his high beat-per-minute running shoes for the most comfortable Adidas shell-toe bopping shoes. Hip-hop? Yes, please. Lyricism? Can I get a hell yeah? Imagine the attitude of Mos matched with the sensibilities of Del in his heyday over music influenced as much by Squarepusher as by the Temptations.

The production sizzles, the bass kicks holes in your wallpaper, and the vocals fit in just perfectly like a fat man in a bath tub. Horrible mental pictures aside, climb aboard the Static train, because this monster of beats is making tracks and you don’t want to be left in the station.

Producing and emceeing since childhood, Kid Static built up steam from 2005, releasing a much lauded album entitled “Goddamn!!” as front man for the instrumental hip-hop group, The Cankles. Also released in 2005 was his solo album “Have You Seen This Man?,” which was hailed as “joyous” and “diversely wonderful” both nationally and internationally.

Working hard to get on mixtapes from California to Germany, the dedication paid off when The Cankles opened Lollapalooza in August of 2006. Taking a break to do stunt work on a major motion picture, Kid Static returned with a vengeance as part of Yea Big + Kid Static, garnering national
attention from MTV, Pitchfork, and the blogosphere for their self-titled first release.

He is currently working hard on a third solo release as well as the sophomore Yea Big + Kid Static record. They are slated to tour from August 2008 into the new year.
