Kep is a real one for making this track.
Kep.Lockhart continues to make waves as one of R&B’s most intriguing double-lifers—Dominican New York native, attorney by day, and soulful crooner by night. His latest release, “Groupie,” is a prime example of his ability to blend smooth vocals, stylish production, and a touch of lyrical cleverness into something genuinely refreshing.
The track rides on a sunny, uptempo R&B-trap beat with an infectious bounce. There’s a breezy, hypnotic quality to the production that sets the perfect mood for cruising with the windows down. Kep.Lockhart’s melodic delivery on the chorus leans into a slightly high-pitched tone, dripping with warm, romantic vibes. On the verses, he switches gears into a slick, conversational rap-sing cadence that adds an edge of cool confidence to the track.
What makes “Groupie” stand out is its playful reversal of expectations. Rather than criticizing someone for being too into him, Kep openly admits that he’s the one caught up. He’s fully aware that he’s the “groupie” in this situation—obsessed with a woman who’s not just beautiful, but also grounded and loyal. The vulnerability is wrapped in charm, making the message all the more relatable.
With its authentic energy, chill production, and Kep’s smooth performance, “Groupie” is one of those tracks that just feels good to play. It’s modern, yet classic. Catchy, yet soulful. And it further cements Kep.Lockhart as someone keeping real R&B alive—with a twist.
