We had the good fortune of connecting with Kasseem Burch and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kasseem, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Honestly I’d probably have the stay by saying dedication and perfecting my craft. Been making music for so long , started off with a bunch of people who are no longer chasing that dream. I stuck to it, stayed the course , and continued to grow. I also can’t forget to say my team “THT@ the Hometeam! Over the last 2 years we have created and grew our own record label right here in New London Ct. My friend which are like family all came together to make something special. There’s no I in team. After doing if by myself for so long , it’s nice to finally have some help and a real support system behind me!
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Came a long way it’s been a hell of a journey. I’m most excited about my growth. If you listen to my first project to my limits recent one , the progress is impeccable. I’ve grown as a man, an artist and just in general. I always loved making music and rapping but it wasn’t until 2016 that I really became serious 100% in. That was a rough yr. , my friend was murdered, went through a bad breakup, and not to mention tons of baby momma drama. At that point I told myself you can either be content wit ya life , or you can really chase ya dreams and see what happens.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
