NEW YORK’S HOTTEST NEW EMCEE, THAT KID ERA, RELEASES NEW VIDEO THROUGH VEVO

Westchester Rap Star Drops His Highly Anticipated Single, “Caught My Eye”

WESTCHESTER, New York (September 11, 2012) — New York’s King of video singles is back, and he guarantee’s another radio smash with his newest release, “Caught My Eye”. With nearly 3 million YouTube views and over 300,000 VEVO views in two days, That Kid Era has made a big name for himself in the viral hip hop scene. His last single “Smell the Pain” was a huge radio success with plays on countless radio stations like CBS’ 92.3 (New York’s #1 Top 40 station).

Since he first entered the game in 2010, Era’s fan base has been consistently growing by the tens of thousands. His first media blitz came after the release of his first project "Let's Get It" which had several hit singles and multiple features including one from rap legend Styles P.

When asked for his thoughts on the success of his latest music, That Kid Era had this to say, “My music will always be the truest expression of me. I’m not tryin’ to be the latest fad, I’m just being myself. My fans can relate to the real and that’s what That Kid Era is all about.”

“Caught My Eye” is the first single released from Era’s “Mr. Illington” mix tape that will be released in October 2012. For more information visit www.ThatKidEra.com or follow him on twitter @ThatKidEra
