The new track "Ain't Been Sober" follows several single releases during 2024 including "Bottom Shelf," "Airplanes" and "Red Clay."
Born Jonathan Gabriel Horne on April 21, 2003, Kidd G first gained attention on social media platforms like TikTok and SoundCloud, where he shared his music with a growing fanbase. His breakthrough came with the release of "Dirt Road" in 2020, a nostalgic country-pop ballad that quickly went viral and helped establish him as a unique voice in the country music scene.
Kidd G's musical background is deeply rooted in both country and hip-hop. Growing up in a small Georgia town, he was exposed to classic country artists like Hank Williams Jr., but also drew inspiration from contemporary rappers such as Juice WRLD.

The young artist's journey in music began at the age of 15 when he started writing his own songs. With the support of his music-loving family, including a great uncle who played bass in Fleetwood Mac, Kidd G set up a makeshift studio in his bedroom and began recording with friends. His early tracks leaned more towards hip-hop, but he soon incorporated country elements, finding that the genre allowed him to tell stories in a way that felt natural to him.
As Kidd G continues to evolve as an artist, his new releases like "Ain't Been Sober" and "Bottom Shelf" demonstrate his growth and commitment to pushing the boundaries of country and hip-hop fusion. With his unique sound and storytelling ability, Kidd G is solidifying his position as a notable figure in the contemporary country music landscape.
