Born in South Dallas, Texas and raised in the heart of West Oakland, California, Kurpt Nation is more than just a music brand—it’s the voice of survival, transformation, and authenticity. Our founder grew up in rough neighborhoods where struggle was the norm and survival was the first lesson. Surrounded by hustlers, pimps, gangsters, drug dealers and users, he was exposed early to the harsh realities of life, but also to raw honesty, resilience, and a certain poetry in pain.

Even after relocating to Stockton, California—another city with its own mix of challenges and characters—the lessons continued. From these environments, he absorbed the sounds, the stories, and the spirit of the streets, translating them into music that’s honest, gritty, and emotionally real. Kurpt Nation exists to channel those experiences into powerful, genre-blending music, engineering, and production that reflects both the darkness and the light of where we come from.

This is the dawning of the age of the brain child!

He's weird as hell, and he's willing to go the extra mile in order to shake the foundations of creation...despite a shocking secret love of smooth jazz.

“To describe my style, it’s an easy meal you can prepare at home with items from the corner grocery Sto. You won’t feel guilty of eating a lot knowing where the ingredients came from.”

“I’m originally from West Oakland ca. 
I’ve been apart of social justice movements and music based programs in Oakland ca back in 2001-08. 
I was a participant as a youth then became an facilitator when I became of age. 
Music was very addictive. I was allowed to listen to radio from birth. Whatever my father played on the turntable or whatever my mom played, I took to it. I like the energy of what music provides whether positive or negative. I felt that I can provide energy to the masses. 
I’ve been told that I sound like Danny Brown, Will Smith, MAC Dre, and any rapper from the golden era of rap music. 
I received praise from my own peers and mentors. It’s very inspiring.”


Time has invigorated this dude and has been killing the sonic sound waves for a couple of summers. Ask @tajmahalblues @cocopeila @gkoopfuzz @joeycheez @bizzel, @Squint-Lo, @lgfromthabay @St-Spittin, and @manigga about his slap-tastic contributions. Sar solo works are something to marvel at as well. Stay tuned for more impactful jams to come! Sar B-Child will control your mind and you will let him.
