Kaso The Space Wizard, born Hew Rader in Pueblo, Colorado, grew up moving between different cities, both suburban and urban, developing a deep love for hip-hop early on. Inspired by legends like Gucci Mane, Chris Travis, Future, Three 6 Mafia, and Tee Grizzley,
Kaso's sound is a mix of aggressive and intricate bars that draw from his own experiences, including battles with addiction PTSD, and Bipolar. As his style evolved, he found inspiration in the unfiltered writing and sound of BONES, Scrim, Project Pat, Raider Klan, and Gwapmizzle, with a unique approach to lyrics that balances simplicity with gritty wordplay.
Kaso’s aggressive tone is showcased through over beats crafted by Hitkidd, 44Ricko, CRCL, Nekk, SPHYNX, AKVRI, and Lonewitch. Throughout his career, he has gone verse for verse with a roster of underground legends like Beamon, CJtopoff, Idontknowjeffery, Andy Christ, Whitewitch, MF Khaos, and 30East.
Kaso has also performed on the Denver Gwapgang Massacre tour.
