BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Dom Kennedy, aka Dominic Hun, was raised in South Central LA on a steady diet of basketball and hip hop. After spending some time studying business management at a local community college, he decided music was where his passion lay and began writing rhymes and producing beats. He released his debut mixtape 25th hour in 2008, quickly becoming a local radio sensation with popular songs like "Watermelon Sundae". Several more successful mixtapes followed, and in 2011 he released his full-length debut album From the Westside with Love, II. The record cracked the Top 20 of both the rap and hip hop/R&B charts, establishing him as a potent new force in West Coast rap and drawing him out for national touring. He followed up in 2013 with his sophomore album Get Home Safely, a critically and commercially successful release that peaked at No. 3 on the rap chart. A charismatic young performer with big things on the horizon, Kennedy continues to flex his considerable lyrical and production skills on his must-see tours.
