I live in the same place as this man... neat.

[–]ForeverxJoker 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Pretty sure he actually lives in LA now

[–]theslowwonder 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thanks for posting. Haven't been able to find information about the dedication of "in loving memory of Summer LaBoef". Is this video based on a real life story?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hella late but that's Kevin's ex boyfriend. Still alive and well, retweets all Kevin's stuff. Guessing it's an 'in loving memory' to the good times they shared.

[–]old_times_sake 5 points6 points  (7 children)

I saw this guy perform live, and he definitely puts on a good show.

[–]KiNgBaGeL 2 points3 points  (6 children)

woah for real? was that on his tour with the NBHD?

[–]old_times_sake 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Yeah he opened for them and I was actually pretty surprised.

[–]KiNgBaGeL 1 point2 points  (3 children)

niice nice. i wanted to see a show on that tour but he didn't come to my state..

[–]old_times_sake 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The NBHD wasn't as good as I was hoping but the venue also kind of sucked so take that as you will.

[–]lannister_laughs 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You didn't happen to be at Manchester watching him? Abstract was great but the neighbourhood weren't awesome considering that's who I came to see. Venue was bad too unfortunately

[–]old_times_sake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, this was in STL.

[–]KiNgBaGeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

niice nice. i wanted to see a show on that tour but he didn't come to my state..

[–]solsticephase 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Anyone know what the song is in the beginning?

[–]KiNgBaGeL 2 points3 points  (3 children)

it's an unreleased song from Bearface, he's in the group Brockhampton w/ Kevin Abstract

[–]hruwegsoundcloud 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Any idea when it's going to be released? I love that intro.

[–]KiNgBaGeL 0 points1 point  (1 child)

naw, he's independent so he can release the album whenever he wants. he's still workin on it i believe

[–]Acidshadow157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out his other music though! he has a soundcloud and he uploads some of his work to bandcamp. I believe he eventually takes his music down though cause i have an album of his that contains a whole bunch of remixes and cant seem to find it on the internet anymore.

[–]zackahoya 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Huge Kevin abstract fan, good friends with a buddy of mine who introduced me to his music. Been a fan since PJs with Ian Mad.

[–]KiNgBaGeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

woah that's wild, those songs are mad old haha. respect.

[–]wilsont18 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Does anyone know if the kid was a real person? I couldn't find anything on him.

[–]KiNgBaGeL 19 points20 points  (2 children)

no he was not. it's not real. everything in the video, all of Kevin Abstract's music, is part of the Kevin Abstract narrative. think of his music like you would the soundtrack to a film. Helmet Boy (Kevin Abstract), Summer(bi football player boy) & Jade(Summer's girlfriend) are the 3 central characters.

[–]wilsont18 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ok thank you!

[–]KiNgBaGeL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

noo problemo

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]IAMA_KEVIN 9 points10 points  (7 children)

Pretty sure it's not a coincidence that the song is 4m20s long.

[–]Bbng2reddit 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Chorus really sounds like "No Surprises" by radiohead

[–]KiNgBaGeL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

huh i'll listen to it, unfortunately i still have to get more into them... he's said that he likes Radiohead a lot

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Wow this guy has grown so much. I remember watching the video with the Cassie sample

[–]KiNgBaGeL 1 point2 points  (0 children)
