KiddTragicc: From Hollygrove to the Universe — The Rise of a Creative Empire
Born and raised in Hollygrove, New Orleans, Dylan Gregory Howard, better known as KiddTragicc (KT), is more than just a rapper — he’s a visionary architect of sound, art, and ambition. Every bar, every visual, every brand under his name reflects the grind of a self-made creator who turned pain into power.
How struggle built his mindset
“I ain’t come from no easy background,” KiddTragicc shares. “Everything I got, I built from scratch — no label, no backing, no handouts. I went through real pain, heartbreak, anger, all that… and I turned it into something bigger.”
That “something bigger” is Unity Investment Enterprises (UIE) — KT’s self-built creative empire. What started as a personal dream has evolved into a multi-brand ecosystem, housing projects like KOJIVERSE, Vance Gutty, and more. Together, they represent his universe — a fusion of music, fashion, visuals, and innovation under one cultural banner.
Accomplishments
His journey from the streets of Hollygrove to the digital stage hasn’t gone unnoticed. KT’s distinctive sound and visual creativity have earned him growing recognition both locally and online. With over 50,000 in streaming profits, and viral tracks like “YOU” (15K streams), “Astro Boy” (1.8 million views + 10K streams), and “FOE” — which caught the attention of T-Pain, being featured on T-Pain’s Music Madness Twitch Marathon and Highlights — KiddTragicc has proven that independent artists can win on their own terms.
trials and tribulations
But behind the numbers lies a story of resilience. “My biggest challenges were loss, heartbreak, and starting from zero — no resources, no help,” KT explains. “But I turned that energy into creation. Music became my therapy, and business became my outlet.”
What’s next for Dylan
Looking ahead, KiddTragicc envisions himself not just as an artist, but as a global mogul building something far greater than fame — a legacy. “In a few years, I see UIE as a cultural universe — music, art, fashion, games, and film. I’m not chasing a hit. I’m building something that’ll last longer than me.”
His creative vision is limitless. Through KOJIVERSE and Vance Gutty, KT is pioneering what he calls “new genre creation” — crafting original sounds and ideas untouched by the mainstream. “I want people to see the evolution — not just the music, but the mindset, the growth, the business behind it,” he says.
Goal with press
For KiddTragicc, this press isn’t just about exposure — it’s about representation. “There’s so many artists like me,” he says. “I’d love to represent them all and let my platform speak for everyone who came from nothing but turned it into something.”
From Hollygrove to the world, KiddTragicc is proving that you can build your own universe — one idea, one verse, one vision at a time.
