Kelly Rush is a post-millenium hip-hop artist who has opened for performers such as Young Jeezy, Elle Varner, Shaggy, Hurricane Chris, KStylis, DJ Unk, Lil Chuckie, VIC, Yo Gotti, and most recently, Juicy J, MGK, Meek Mill, Marcus Canty, Lloyd, Kirko Bangz. Starting in Fayetteville NC, Rush has been booked for everything from Sweet 16's to Foxy 99's Summer Jam. Whether the crowd's big or small, young or old, Kelly Rush will get them out of their seats and vibing to his energetic performances. His style is not like anything on the market today, however he says he is greatly influenced by J Cole (who shared the same high school as Mr. Rush), Kendrick Lamar, Action Bronson, A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, and Joey Bada$$. His style on tracks can be very uplifting, positive, and reflective, however sometimes he can venture into a darker side, telling stories that will pull you into a dimension he creates with his smooth delivery and vivid imagery.
