Born Terry Terrell Hearn., Kool Aid grew up in Jackson.Mississippi gangland of Georgetown community under the watchful eye of his mother and Father. The baby of the family (he has an older brother, two half-sisters and two step-brothers), Kool Aid was an inquisitive and bright child who learned about Hip-Hop from his older brother Corey. Kool Aid began writing raps at 15 years old. By high school, he’d taken on the name “Drama Child ” as part of a three-man rap group called Young & Dangerous. In 2006, the group released a mixtape, Recognition, which generated significant buzz around Lanier High School. The following year, the already popular Kool Aid – a marching band heartthrob – released a solo mixtape entitled My Turn, further boosting his high school profile. However, the aspiring emcee didn’t begin to take his music career seriously until he became a father at the age of 18. Kool Aid continued to record songs in his basement and distribute them at school and at parties. His networking efforts led him to his close friend and producer Ryan Lewis A.K.A Red Boi . Kool Aid became cool with the group and hung out with them from time to time. One day, in a car on the way to a club in 2009, Kool Aid let His producer at the time Red Boy hear a song he’d just recorded entitled “Going Live !” Red Boy listened to the song and immediately wanted to get another Atlanta artist who he have a good relationship with to feature on the hook give the song what its missing so he made a few calls in to Mizay Entertainment witch later lead to a feature from So Icey Entertainment artist “Gucci Mane “. Because Kool Aid had established his local name, Kool Aid figured it would help his cause if he incorporated the Artist into the song. Clearing back up vocals off of the track – the first verse, hook and intro remained – Kool Aid handed the song over to So Icey Entertainment. Faced with high expectations and aggressive goals, Kool Aid is currently moving forward with his indie label project, Da Contender A healthy balance of hip-hop, pop, and R&B rhythms, the album is designed to showcase the numerous layers of Kool Aids talent. The album’s second single, “Go Ham” (produced by K.E.) is a flashy, soon-to-be club anthem with an infectious sing-songy hook. Additional album stand-outs include “Lets do it again ” and “WWJD” . “I’m really just trying to make music that everyone can relate to,” says Kool Aid. “Of course, I want to be different and bring a new sound.” Kool Aids journey is just beginning and despite the past drama, setbacks and disappointments, the future superstar believes he’s exactly where he needs to be. “I wouldn’t change the way any of this happened,” he maintains. “I learned so much from it all, and it only made me even hungrier to do what it is I came to do.”
