“Ypsilanti’s golden child, 14KT, has flipped some of his instrumental magic into full-fledged songs on the new EP A Friendly (Vocal) Game of KT. The original instrumental project was rife with earth quaking bass lines, precise drums and heavenly synths. Now the vocal version pairs select beats with equally select MC’s to tease a few great instrumentals into a few classic songs.

14KT teamed up with Oddisee and Olivier Daysoul for the song “High Horse” which is one of four vocal tracks from 14KT’s upcoming EP that features vocals from his slept on instrumental release “A Friendly Game of KT.”
Look out for 14KT’s upcoming EP featuring vocal versions of the instrumentals from “A Friendly Game of KT” coming soon.
