New York rapper Kay Flock burst onto the Bronx drill scene with the release of his debut track, "FTO," racking up massive streaming numbers before issuing his 2021 debut mixtape, The D.O.A. Tape. A collaborative track with Cardi B and others called "Shake It" became a hit the following year.

Born and raised in the Bronx, Kay Flock grew up listening to the likes of Chief Keef and the late L'A Capone before dabbling in production and rapping himself. Realizing he had a talent for quick-fire bars, he issued his first single, "FTO," in 2020, instantly amassing an impressive online following. Over the next year, he released a slew of tracks, collaborating with B-Lovee, Dougie B, Lil Skrap, and Wan Billz before signing to Universal. Debuting for the label with the massive "Being Honest," Flock issued a few tracks in the run-up to the release of his debut mixtape. The D.O.A. Tape, which collected a selection of previously released tracks, arrived in late 2021 and featured a remixed version of the single "Being Honest," this time featuring G Herbo. Flock landed another hit the following year with the single "Shake It." Featuring Cardi B, Dougie B, and Bory300, the song hit number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100. ~ Rich Wilson, Rovi
