Throughout his young career, he's collaborated with the likes of Natural Disaster, Kid Sound, No Sleep and more. The last we heard of him was the January 2014 single "Off The Record", a smooth cut soundtracked by Windsor, Ontario producer Nico Fazio.
KR will be embarking on an eight-city tour across the country with Chicagoan emcee Alex Wiley in late February 2014. Stay tuned for updates on his career, y'all - the young lord's just getting started in this rap game (and drop the comparisons to Kendrick Lamar).

The song "Don't Leave" by KR opens with the singer acknowledging her flaws and asking not to be judged for them. She refers to herself as a girl with a temper and acknowledges that she can be crazy. However, she also asserts that she is not just a fuck-up but the fuck-up that the listener needs. In the chorus, the singer urges the person not to leave and assures them that nobody will love them as well as she does, even if she never gets her act together. The second verse reveals a loving relationship between the singer and the listener, and she tells the listener that they are irreplaceable.
The pre-chorus highlights the singer’s imperfections, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't love the listener. The song is a plea not to give up on the relationship, despite the singer's flaws, and to embrace the imperfections that make the relationship special. The lyrics suggest that even though the singer may never be perfect or have her life together, she will love the listener better than anyone else ever could. The song is a reminder that love is not about being perfect, but about loving someone flaws and all.
