The Next Generation of Hip-Hop and Rap Resides in Detroit

DETROIT - Nov. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Kameron Potts (MotorCityKam) moved to Detroit when he was just two years old. The now 22 year old hip-hop artist, poet, and rapper is proud to be bringing his art and performances to light in the motor city; as his stage-name suggests.

Potts attended the Detroit Open School; a creative institution where he learned to draw, paint, write poetry and express his feelings through art.

"I was considered weird in Detroit, actually. I grew up on a lot of rap, hip-hop, soul, rock, all that stuff. I'm really diverse in my tastes," he explained.

It was the experience of growing up "weird" that helped shape Potts' approach to the music industry. "You can't rely on anybody to get you where you're going. The stuff I'm workin on now, people really think is good and I'm trying to incorporate all of my influences into one," added Potts.

MotorCityKam released "Life In The Citi 2" this summer, which is available as a free download at http://www.datpiff.com/MotorCityKam-Life-In-The-Citi-2-mixtape.516113.html.

He's currently working on an EP and a much larger project, both of which will release in 2014. To keep in touch with the up-and-comer, follow him on Facebook at Motorcitykam313. He also has a twitter account @Motorcitykam where he can fans reach him.

Look for MotorCityKam on tour throughout 2014. His final show of 2013 will be on Saturday, November 30th in his hometown of Detroit at The Untitled Bottega.

The venue is located at 314 E Baltimore St, Detroit, MI 48202. The event is called "Beauty from Ashes; Canvas to the Microphone."

While music runs in MotorCityKam's family, (Ella Fitzgerald and Paul Robeson are direct cousins) he's starting fresh, and helping to make his own name in the music world and help Detroit, and its youth, along the way.
