Kemet Coleman, previously known by stage name Kemet the Phantom, is a Kansas City-based rapper, producer, urbanist and entrepreneur.
While Coleman has released at least 10 albums, his most well-known roles are as the official DJ for UMKC basketball program and as the creator in 2016 of a song entitled "Get Out," the video for which was set entirely on the then-brand-new KC Streetcar.[1] Before the UMKC role and the streetcar video, Coleman had received press coverage primarily for collaborating musically with Kyle James, the frequently arrested son of Kansas City mayor Sly James.[2]
The Atlantic praised "Get Out," describing it as "just way better than any promotional song for a modestly scaled Midwest city’s streetcar line has any right to be."[3]
The Pitch had good words for Coleman's song "Suite Life", calling it "a solid track to promote Kemet the Phantom's upcoming The Invisible Man album."[4]
Coleman's father was born in Mississippi and grew up in St. Louis. His mother is from New Orleans. Coleman is married and has two children.[5]
