Through a prolific year of touring, releases and collaborations, Bay Area artist Karri has cemented himself as one of R&B’s innovative new voices.

Hailed by peers like Lil Baby, Drake and Kehlani, as well as Billboard deeming him their R&B Rookie at the Month to open 2025, Karri is widening the aperture of what can be expected from his sound. With a tour with Isaiah Falls and a set at Wireless Festival in London under his belt, as well as collaborations with a diverse set of artists including Joe Kay of Soulection, Goapele, Jack Dine and more, Karri is honing his craft and returning to releasing new solo music.

His new EP, SLIDER II, the evolved sequel of his 2024 debut EP Late Nite Slider Music, exemplifies his new range with a body of work that spans sultry late-night croons, to upbeat, Bay Area hip-hop influenced tracks that are ready for the club. SLIDER II is a statement of intent for Karri entering 2026 as a forward-thinking force for Bay Area music and beyond.
