Star Persons and Kyle & Keem at High Noon Saloon
Hakeem Myers and Kyle Schlienger possess such a sharp understanding of how to craft catchy radio hip-hop tunes that it’s a wonder they’re still unsigned. The duo, who perform as Kyle & Keem, hadn’t even graduated from high school in Verona, Wisconsin when the undeniable, gigantic single “Amazing” started making the rounds on 93.1 in Madison. On their self-titled 2011 debut, Kyle & Keem get a lot more mileage out of the formula of Myers handling the rhymes and Schlienger singing the hooks on top of shimmering synths and big beats and tracks like “All About A Dolla” and “A Good Time.” It’s all designed for mass appeal, but the two of them work hard enough to deserve that kind of success.
