Kaasim is a rising R&B talent hailing from Roxbury, Boston, now making waves between his hometown and Atlanta. A lifelong musician shaped by the legendary Elma Lewis and first spotlighted at age seven in Black Nativity, Kaasim’s artistry blends the soul of ’90s R&B with a sharp modern edge and hip-hop grit. His latest single, “Hoodie On,” is a raw, melodic reflection on self-worth, industry pressure, and personal resilience—an anthem for anyone who’s ever had to armour up emotionally. The track has already made a splash, landing over half a million streams and debuting in the iTunes R&B Top 20. While fans hear echoes of today’s biggest names in R&B, Kaasim stays rooted in his own story, voice, and vision.Highlights from Toby Gribben's Friday afternoon show on Shout Radio.
