KSI always showed an interest in rapping. He rapped on JideJunior (his very first channel) and on many occasions whilst playing GTA V with his friends. Although those times were nothing compared to his first single. On March 25th, 2015, KSI uploaded his very first professional song, titled; "Lamborghini" which, featured PMoney. He put so much passion into his words, literally screaming, so people would know that it's really him.
"This is happening; Deal with It."
This was just a tease to what he had planned next. Because, on September 6th, 2015, he announced via Twitter his debut album, which was then released on January 8th 2016. He titled this EP (Extended Playlist) "Keep Up", after the main song of the album, which featured JME (a BBK >Boy Better Know< member). The song was basically asking the world if they could Keep Up with his success because clearly, it's going up fast and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
On April 22nd, 2016, he posted a video which gave us a glimpse of his new song; "Goes Off", which features Mista Silva. This video was directed to his fans, asking them to make a short clip/video of them doing something crazy and insane with this song in the background, for a chance to be featured in the upcoming music video, which was later uploaded on May 1st, 2016.

Here are a few snip-its from some of his music videos
His First Tour
On July 4th, 2016, he announced that he's going on tour. The lucky European fans went absolutely nuts! This tour of course will feature the songs from his "Keep Up" EP, but it will also include the new songs he's been working on, hopefully for a new album. We get an idea of what's going to be on the new track when he uploaded a video to his channel titled "The Party in London", which shows a list of songs we haven't heard before. He did mention in a live stream on his app that he was working on a mixtape with Randolph (featured in his song "Encore") but no further information has been given so far. At this point we can only wait in anticipation.
Of course, all his fans are very happy for him and would love to be a part of this great moment, but that can't be done.
Hopefully, one day in the future, he will have a proper international tour. If not, just a tour to very popular/main areas in different countries. Ex; Toronto, ON, Canada or Los Angeles, CA, United States.
One can only hope.
