With the success of his self-titled independent release dubbed, Jensen Kirk LP, Jensen Kirk was able to touch on the earlier parts of his life in and outside of music. On the project he displayed the thin line between battling the loss of his best friend due to street violence and trying to maintain his love for the art we call Hip Hop.

But now with over 50,000 REAL streams on Soundcloud alone, Jensen Kirk has proven that he can paint pictures musically for the masses. With that understanding, Jensen has entered an entirely new realm of consciousness which is projected in his new effort Kissed By The Sun.

Masked under the jazzy and funky sounds of his producer Pico, this 10-track LP has been painted with multitude of different colors, shedding new light on how people perceive Jensen’s home town of South Central, Los Angeles.

“I’ve been aware of the fight, but I am now more aware of self, I’m ‘Kissed by the Sun.'” Jensen Kirk said. “I’m talking about a lot of issues that minority communities face such as addiction, mental illness, self hatred and also self love on this project.”
