about In a city renowned for it’s “slow, loud, & banging music,” and an affection for all that is screwed; Hailing from the Southwest side of Houston, TX, duo K.R.T. is quickly rising among the pack of new artists eager to step out from under the shadows of their musical successors and blaze their own path in Houston.
A passion for music and a commitment to the creed “family first,” inspired cousins Sir Polky and Prince Charles to come together, and K.R.T., otherwise known as Knights of the Round Table, was born. They’re primary focus being a return to good music; something that is casually thrown around in the industry, but rarely seen anymore.
“We not trying to make gangster music,” as Charles stated, “Our music is for everybody. We just want to make you feel good.”
Something that has seemingly come second nature to a pair raised in the church and surrounded by a family full of musicians.
As Polky can attest, ““Music is in our blood. My grandmother played and sang at church, and my mother sang as well. Singing came natural to me, and rapping came along around the age of 14 after I heard Bone Thugs & Harmony. I got good at free styling at school and stuck with it.”
K.R.T. effortlessly walks the fine line between lyricism and delivery wrapped in a playful package, as evident in their current local hit “She Turning Heads.” K.R.T. has swiftly made a name for themselves, and can be seen at various events and venues around town.
The duo themselves are just as endearing as the music that they are producing. When asked what differentiates them from other local artists around town, Charles responded, “Because I wear purple.” While Polky added with a wry smile, “I’m probably the flyest big guy that you’ll ever know. I’m in my own lane because I’m my own different person.”
In short, their music speaks for itself. No gimmicks needed.
