Championed by the likes of Taz Taylor, Nick Mira, and the rest of Internet Money, Dro Kenji rose from a small town in South Carolina to become a budding rap star in just a matter of months. Melodic, brooding, and undeniably magnetic, Kenji’s song “KILL CUPID” ft. rising FL phenom $NOT demonstrates his immense potential, generating over 5 million streams on Spotify alone. Today, Kenji shares the animated video for “KILL CUPID,” a Taz Taylor, Nash Beats & Census-produced highlight from his EAT YOUR HEART OUT project, which makes literal the song’s exploration of the inevitability of heartbreak.

Directed by Alex Sarzosa of @planet_hell_studio, the animated video for “KILL CUPID” follows Kenji and $NOT as they embark on an epic battle with the God of Love himself, ducking his arrows. The whole vid gives me strong mid-00’s Nickelodeon vibes, reminding me of my days watching weird cartoons like Invader Zim, ChalkZone and Danny Phantom.
