Animal Arithmetics creator, Queens native, Kenya “KDFoxx” Danino is an illustrator, writer, and former mentee of acclaimed storytellers Peter De Seve, Terryl Whitlatch, Thomas Astruc, and Hiroyuki Asada.

Lyrics:
V1 
(Substantial & Stephanie Gayle) 
All I ever wanted was a little fame 
Take care of me and mine off the strength of my name 
Barely wanted one, never needed two chains 
No disrespect to him it just wasn’t my thing 
Words are my art and the beat is my frame 
Former starving artist painting my pain 
Made my family proud of the man I became 
Hopefully, some of yall try to do the same 

(Substantial) 
I learned that… it’s deeper than cheers, deeper than guest appearances 
As deep as your fears, deeper than sample clearances 
Deeper than lights, deeper than camera, action! 
Deeper than mics, deeper than transactions. 
Deeper than fans, deeper than beats and world tours 
Deeper than brands, deep as peace, it’s all yours 
Deeper than sub woofers who knew than love could’ve 
Made a dream liver from onlooker, songs took’em... 

HOOK (Stephanie Gayle) 
Beyond the stage and bright lights 
Come get a better look at our life 
Where every moment isn’t a highlight 
But we’re alright! 

Beyond the stage and bright lights 
Come get a better look at our life 
From the bottom up to the highlife 
Now we’re alright! 

V2 
(Stephanie Gayle) 
Mama can ya’... pray for me now (Won’t he do it) 
So when we.. play we make you proud (And ya’ knew it) 
Never know who we’ll... save from out the crowd (Put’em up) 
Make sure the… bass bangin out loud (Turn it up) 

(Substantial) 
So they feel it from the stage... and beyond 
Ain’t a flow cooler like I’m making freon 
Feel vibes thru the monitor I place my feet on, like ottoman 
So hot I’m Vulcan-ic, no Klingons, I live long 
Prosper, that’s the motto, green room, 
Brown liquor, like pass the bottle, but I’m good though 
Long way from Brightseat Rd, still hood though 
Still make it home regardless of where I could go 
Where good jokes bring the sun out when it’s (cloudy) 
And good folks show you love but come off (rowdy) 
I grab the mic for PG and rep it (proudly) 
They were looking for the real and they (found me)...
