KILLA KISH
For the longest time, Sundays were reserved for watching television's first
national hip-hop program, "Yo! MTV Raps." Among the artists featured was
Killa, nicknamed for his on-stage performance, who made a name for himself
all the way from his war-torn homeland of Eritrea to Switzerland where he
was granted refugee status.
"Ma peine" is the title of the first official track on Killa Kish's album
co-produced by D.J. Sensay and Nicolas Wilfried from Intifada Beats.
These tracks make up Street mixtapes, featuring a voice like none other and
a style that falls more closely in line with the American Rap scene than
that in France.
Young generations consider this Street Rap the most authentic form of Rap
out there, for it depicts a very real, and often hard-core picture of the
strife-ridden and survival-threatened reality in inner-city enclaves,
unlike the cleaner, more lackadaisical, mainstream version of "street lit"
underlying old-school French Rap, with the exception of a handful of French
groups that remained true to their "street-bred" roots once their lyrics
were broadcast on Radio Nova's airwaves.
Switzerland is a literary movement that is delving into and pulling from
the wealth of slang intrinsic to certain French neighborhoods. Like he says
in one of his texts, Killa Kish "...cuts through it like a machete." The way
he sees things, Rap is the United States, and the future of Rap worldwide
will depend on artists' ability in the business to pool their insight,
learnings and hands-on experience from their respective roots and origins.
Those who refuse to do so will be in for a rude awakening. Killa Kish's
Manager, Aldo Do Carmo, puts it bluntly when he says, "The international
Rap scene will remain at a standstill without the experience and strides
made by the American Rap industry. The day American record labels such as
Def Jam Recordings start to pop up in Europe, that standstill will be no
longer."
