kidDEAD is throwing an album release show tonight at the Stone Fox. Ross Norton of kidDead landed in Nashville after a turbulent series of events that took him from Tallahassee, FL to following the Grateful Dead to drug addiction to prison to coming to terms with the tragic death of his mother. To say that he has walked the walk would be an understatement. The product of such a path is an intelligent, emotional brand of hip hop dealing with the less than glamorous truths of human nature (struggle, fear, failure.) “Rap and Destroy” is his first full-length solo effort departing from The Last of the Horsemen. Joining the bill is a good portion of Nashville’s #RAPCLUB: Peaceful Warrior, Spoken Nerd, Phantom Farmer and Erin Rae and the Meanwhiles. Listen to the first single “Thieves” featuring Nathan Conrad, Brandon Brains and BRZOWSKI to get a preview the show, which starts at 9 and cost $7. – Terra James-Jura
