Kentucky's newest rising artist K.Y.N.G. (Kentucky's New Generation) has released his latest single, "Kentucky Life". The song describes the regular day to day life of a Louisville native, and listeners may be surprised when they hear what it entails. The single is currently available on the Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes website.

About K.Y.N.G.: "K.Y.N.G.", when he is not on stage or in the studio, goes by Erick Coleman. Hailing from a small town in Kentucky called Hopkinsville, he has come a long way, not just in music, but in his life overall. "I started making music when I was in high school, but I never shared it with anyone," explains K.Y.N.G. "I stayed focused on me and mainly athletics." He started taking music seriously around September 2016, when he released his "So Gone Challenge" video. He said once he did, his friends and family expressed to him to take this newfound talent seriously and see what happens. Once he did, he ended up performing at a Coast2Coast Live event in Louisville, KY. He placed 2nd out of 13 artists and has been on an uphill climb since.

Although, "Kentucky Life" caught the ears of his local listeners, he also has other songs that are making some noise in other states. "My song 'College Queens' really hit it off with the ladies, and it is getting played over in California. It is also getting played on the radio, which is really exciting because I just started," says K.YN.G. "I am just trying to create a little buzz like a baby bee."
