Kinfolk, formerly known as Kia Shine, went from “Crispy” fame, to being one of the biggest high-powered executives in the industry, creating hits, and making major business deals

In the summer of 2007, a song called “Crispy” took over the radio, and especially BET’s “Rap City.” The man behind the hit was Kia Shine, of Memphis. He saw more than the music and began making business moves.

Fast forward to 2021 and Kinfolk is formerly known as Kia Shine. Among other products, he has “Coffee with Kinfolk,” along with his other brands. Among his other work, he is a co-host on the “Industry Connect” show.

Kinfolk has his hands in many pots, which is evidenced by one look at his Instagram. While doing major business, he is still doing his work, making hits. Just one look at his Instagram and people can see him with the likes of Lil Durk, Ne-Yo, and Diddy, while the “Industry Connect” show recently did a deal with Shade 45.

While Kinfolk has been making amazing business moves, for a long time, he is now assembling the team to share his work with the world. This dream team includes many heavy-hitters, CEO-ISHHH among them, which is helping people see exactly what Kinfolk is bringing to the table. Those who know the business know that Kinfolk is the man to get with.
