Abstract’s hometown is Corpus Christi, and as such pulls on a lot of the relationships that began there but he continues to have, such as his sister and his boyfriend. In “Corpus Christi,” Abstract focuses on issues that have arisen as he’s become more famous. This is definitely a song that will make listeners move. It takes the listener on a musical roller-coaster jumping back and forth between fast rap and a slow echoing voice. It is chill with high-pitched whispers and incorporates many references to other black artists.Ī shift from this iconic style comes from the song “Joyride.” As the song name suggests, it’s positive and upbeat. A good example of this on the album is the song “Crumble” where he explores his black identity. Kevin Abstract and Frank Ocean share many similarities in music style and experiences as queer, black men, but Abstract pushes that theme more often in his music. As it opens with ringing bells and angelic whispers, the song turns into a reflection of him as the “American Problem” by being gay and his principal calling him “a flaming f-t” behind his back. His song “American Problem” reflects this. His latest album is full of the slow, catchy beats Abstract is known for, but lets himself dive deeper into personal themes than his group work does.Ī big part of Abstract’s life is his struggle with being gay, which he continues to explore in his latest release.
However, his April 25 solo release, ARIZONA BABY indicates he is not there yet, but may be on his way. Many fans of BROCKHAMPTON believe that Kevin Abstract would be the first to break up the boy band. With the largest Twitter following of any other band member, BROCKHAMPTON founding member Kevin Abstract has shown that he can attract just as much attention on his own as he can in a group.
