About Me

K.Killa

If you’ve been paying attention to southern hip-hop for the last few years by now you should know how to snap your fingers and fly like superman; all in your white tee. The question is are you ready for the evolution of southern hip-hop? Ready or not, North Carolina native, K.Killa, is armed with lethal rhymes, confident swagger, and enough versatility to expand the mainstream southern hip-hop genre beyond catchy one-liners and dance instructional lyrics.

Hailing from Rocky Mount, NC K.Killa’s formation as a rapper was shaped by two tragic episodes of violence. At the age of twelve his father was convicted of murder and sentenced to twenty years to life in prison. During this time K.Killa also became separated from his mother and four siblings, and was placed in a group home. Without the support of a family structure he turned to the streets and joined a gang. Simultaneously he began to pen his hidden frustrations, sorrows, and anger.

“I started writing to try and make some sense of what was going on around me. I was without my core, which is my family and I was lost. Writing at that time helped me release all of the emotions that as a child you really can’t understand when they’re left bottled up inside of you.”

His influences include the musings on life in the dirty south from such icons as Master P, Three 6 Mafia, UGK, and Lil’ Jon. Drawing from this diverse crop of artists allows K.Killa to stand apart from the pack, by bringing a much needed multi-faceted lyrical point of view to southern rap. Equally adept at writing radio friendly club anthems as he is at crafting introspective rhymes about street life and relationships, K.Killa is not only the future of North Carolina’s hip-hop scene; but he’s the greatest hope for the future of southern hip-hop. Ready or not, here comes the evolution of the south.
