This has been a long time coming. Kashus Culpepper is a name you'll want to dial in on if you haven't discovered him already. And yes, I know what you are thinking; how do we know this when the words "debut single" are in the byline of this article? Well, let us show you... We discovered the 26-year-old Navy veteran earlier this year when he was laying down straight heat with his unreleased singles. Other folks in the industry quickly caught on, leading Culpepper to support huge names like Charles Wesley Godwin on the road. The Alabama native has an authentic and gritty songwriting style, laying down lines that strike you off one listen but are still relatable to most. Do yourself a favor and listen to his unreleased track "Sleeping Together" to get a feel for it. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4gGLd9Oary/ Culpepper gained quite a bit of popularity when he moved to Nashville to pursue music full-time and was welcomed into the songwriting community with open arms. Fans quickly began begging him to release music, and right after, he inked a record deal with Big Loud; he is finally giving fans what they want. And now, his debut single hit streaming platforms and Culpepper came out of the gates swinging, showing country music he will be a force of nature. "After Me?" highlights Culpepper's Southern roots, taking fans on a ride of wanting to object to a past love, move on, and marry another man. The vulnerability in this voice is carried through the Southern rock-inspired melody as the broken narrator wrestles with how she can move on when he is stuck on losing this love.
"In the back of my Chevy Fogged glass, hot and heavy We committed some deadly sins Made a promise to me in front of GOD, then she left me Now she's swearing them same vows to him Guess I’m the old love And He’s the new Her brooch is borrowеd Guess I’m the blue I just can’t seem to So how can shе Be happy ever after me?" The grit in his vocals is captivating from the first listen, leaving listeners wanting more. Talk about coming out of the gate SWINGING with a debut single. Kashus Culpepper is going places, and you'll thank us later when you can tell your friends you were an early adopter of his music. Fire it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QVv6RrkB-8
