Born in 1994 in Canton, Ohio, DaKidRiz is a force to be reckoned with in the world of hip-hop. From dropping his first track, “Ohio,” on SoundCloud in 2014 to shaping his sound with major releases, DaKidRiz has steadily risen through the ranks with raw talent and unmatched authenticity.

His breakthrough single, “I Ain’t Got No Choice” (2015), set the stage for a career that’s been nothing short of meteoric. But it wasn’t until 2017, when he connected with his manager, Kara Tavers, that DaKidRiz’s true potential began to shine. With her guidance, he signed to Frequency Music Group in 2018, expanding his reach and refining his signature sound.

DaKidRiz’s music is a journey—a perfect blend of melodic flows, emotional lyricism, and storytelling that hits deep. Tracks like “Alright” (2022) and “WHO THEY PLAYIN’ WIT” featuring B-Different (2025) showcase his growth, while his 2021 album *Delight* (and the reissue *Delight Reloaded*) cemented his place as an artist to watch.

Rising through the ranks of streaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube, DaKidRiz’s music speaks to a generation finding comfort in his relatability. His tracks dive into the complexities of real-life struggles, relationships, and ambitions, earning him comparisons to artists like Toosii, Rod Wave, and Polo G.

With each release, DaKidRiz proves he’s not just an artist—he’s a movement. His sound continues to evolve, and his fanbase, fueled by viral moments on TikTok and YouTube, is growing faster than ever. DaKidRiz is here to stay, and his journey is only just beginning.
