Kaliban at the Knitting Factory opening for Rhymefest www.myspace.com/lockandstock www.lockandstock.com No pimp cup. No gold teeth. No running suit (More) www.myspace.com/lockandstock www.lockandstock.com No pimp cup. No gold teeth. No running suit dipped in Gucci. Kaliban is strictly business. L.A.'s resident battle rap title-holder is no stranger to the raw front lines of today's rap scene. And he's ready to change it. The question is, is today's rap scene ready to take on Kaliban? With all the beef in the industry there needs to be a samurai that paints a clear portrait between the winner and the loser. That samurai has arrived... Kaliban grew up in a part of South Central Los Angeles he refers to as "the Danger Zone", dubbed that due to alarming murder rates and brutal turf wars. In the midst of that urban battleground he honed his take-no-prisoner spit fire style at local underground spots like Project Blowed, Elements, Fais Do-Do, and Galaxy. Places like these have a strict hold-your-own policy and chances were Kaliban showed and proved on a solo mission. Never the type to roll 10 deep, he was notorious for silently sliding into a cipher and murdering ten emcees at a time all without ever taking off his hoodie. Like a true samurai, he would do his killing, humbly collect his props, and disappear into the night as swiftly as he came. Some may say this sounds like a movie but to those struggling emcees in L.A.'s fight for supremacy, this is their living, breathing, walking nightmare. Not only does Kaliban have undoubted street credibility, his rhymes are packed with the smarts of Einstein and the street hustle of a young Willie D. He has a strong understanding of the current rap game and is able to disguise himself as a wolf in sheep's clothing; appealing to audiences, murderous to label made clones. With his rhyme game locked down, Killiban ventured off into more mainstream gambles where the purses were bigger. He took home a trophy from Nike's Battleground competition where he destroyed emcees from all over the country. With fangs dripping with industry blood, he became hungry for more high profile marks. It was time to hit the movies. Killiban starred in Battle For New York, an independent movie that showed the difference between a "rapper" and an emcee. In true form, Killiban was cast as the ultimate emcee to square off against sixteen opponents. Not a far stretch from his day to day routine. Killiban did gain a strong business sense from the making of this movie and he took that straight to the boardroom. Lock and Stock Records (LAS) was born under the partnership of Killban and 24 Terrorist, a Hip-Hop Architect who's lived in both the SF Bay and Los Angeles. Together they made "Da .44 Killa" mixtape, which created a major buzz in the L.A. mixtape circuit. With one foot in the door, LAS merged with FRC (Filthy Rich Criminals, the super group formed by Killiban, Jag Bomb, Lex Luther and Shady McVeigh in the late nineties) creating "Industry Terrorism", a philosophy they developed by combining all their separate talents into one and hitting the industry hard. With sleeper cells such as Cobra Los Angeles (CLA), and the Mighty Mint waiting in the wings for the attack signal, Killiban and his terror regime are ready for war on all four corners of the world. Brace your pimp cups and guard your grills, the terror alert is rising and Killiban is awake. (Less)
