It features footage in old saloons, the desert of the US South West, and old fashioned steam trains. If that wasn&#8217;t already enough to evoke the Clint Eastwood classic, &#8216;The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly&#8217;, the song opens up with an extract of Ennio Morricone&#8217;s haunting theme from the film itself. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kyd, from DeQuincy, Louisiana, takes a leaf from Lil Nas X&#8217;s book with his old school Country sound; he does however fuse it with Trap and Hip Hop, which is an area that&#8217;s not yet been fully explored in mainstream music.  Kyd plays a cowboy in the clip, resplendent in black hat, leather waistcoat, and a huge silver buckle on the belt holding up his black Levis. The song itself is catchy both lyrically and melodically, while the two vocals, pairing a bass line with the lighter rap, are a brilliant augmentation to the perfectly blended hip hop beats with the country steel acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kyd has previously collaborated with artists\u00a0Danny Racero,\u00a0and\u00a0Ya Boy Big Choo, on his Afrobeat single &#8216;I Like It&#8217;. His multi-genre style so far has seen him explore a wide range of genres, including Hip Hop, Afrobeat, Pop, and Country, ensuring that he has listeners across the entire musical spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the music video for &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rUdf9uTjoHc\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rUdf9uTjoHc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get On Down<\/a>&#8216;, and find out more about Kyd online on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kydcloudsurfer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kydcloudsurfer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and stream and download his single by following the links <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/Kydcloudsurfer\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/Kydcloudsurfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_76245\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rUdf9uTjoHc?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Kyd - Get On Down\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/rUdf9uTjoHc\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released on August 27, the video for Kyd&#8217;s new single, &#8216;Get On Down&#8217; sees the artist visit the &#8220;wild west&#8221; popularised in the Spaghetti Western genre of the 1960s.
