On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, we sit down with Kendall Davidson — a St. Louis rapper, producer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur — to talk about his creative journey and the release of his new project, Rise.
Kendall shares how growing up in St. Louis and starting in church music helped shape his creative foundation, eventually leading him into hip-hop, filmmaking, and producing his own music. The conversation explores how he blends multiple influences — from jazz and blues to rock and hip-hop — to create a sound that reflects the diverse musical legacy of St. Louis.
