My Take
Kodak Black is a complicated figure for me, but there is no denying the trajectory. Coming out of Pompano Beach, Florida, he turned a couple of teenage tracks like No Flockin and Skrt into a recording deal with Atlantic Records before he was even out of his teens. That is a remarkably fast rise, and it speaks to how immediately his sound connected. What I find interesting is the duality in his identity, performing under one name while carrying another legal one. I tend to separate the music from the headlines, and on the music alone, his influence on a wave of Florida rap is hard to overstate.
