Anik Khan Releases ‘Kites’ EP

Queens-based artist, Anik Khan returns with his latest project, Kites EP.

The 10-song offering contains the previously released tracks "Cleopatra," "Columbus," "Habibi" and the title song. The multi-talented artist continues with his efforts to standout by simply being different and superbly talented. The EP is a mix of serious tracks that delve into society's ills and his issues as a Muslim MC, as well as club bangers and dreamy soundscapes.

XXL got familiar with Khan a couple years back following the release of his solo debut, I Don't Know Yet. The eclectic entertainer talked about his ability to catch different waves then. "If you listen to my songs I am pretty sure you will hear some genre blending regardless of if it is a super hip-hop beat," he said. "I will probably do some Patois and some shit on top of it. That is pretty much it. I do not necessarily know what I specifically do; I am heavy on the lyrics, the outwit man, I come from that nature. I say something and then three days later you get it. That gives me joy. I love those."

Khan recently sat down with Hot 97's Ebro to chop it up about the new project for Beats 1. Listen to Kites and watch the interview below.
