The youngest of five raised by his Jamaican parents in the tuff ghettos of Manchester England.His first two steps in life were to the gram where he proceeded to turn the volume up hence his musical journey began. As he grew what was this natural soothing sounds that made him feel as close to the heavenly father as possible and put him to sleep as a child. Sound systems is where he first held a microphone fascinated with what transposed out of it by the age of 11 he was already writing lyrics so he could toast on his big brothers sound what excitement this kid was hungry. Putting himself about around his home area in the early 90’s he worked with local producers scrimping and saving to get a demo together to no avail. Still he never gave up he then hustled his way onto local pirate radio station “Sting Fm” held down a regular drive time spot where he could then be heard in no time at all he supported “Buju Banton” at the “Nia Center” to sell out crowds mid 90’s headed to London City to gain access to as many studios as possible recorded work with many producers but to no avail still hungry. But wait late 90’s he caught the ear of the Nottingham born producer Dominic Owen they both had a understanding behold Killa first jumped of on the Smokers Blend LP - Gain The Whole World- in 1999 adding a ragga/dancehall feel to Lyrically Minded.
In 2002 Killa featured on the –whadd up –UK tour which blazed some of Jamaica’s hottest mc’s including Merciless, Alozade, Lexus just 2 mention a few. Then on 2 supporting heavy weights Busta Rymes, Usher & M.O.P

With very mainstream beats his flow and style are quite distinctive what u hear is what you get. What with dance tracks as well as the usual attire his style of music is well and truly seasoned.
Working with producers across the board as well as his very own “Na Gu Like Wi Family” the beats and styles are crisp and unorthodox but very well delivered, make up your own mind as u sift through his catalogue of tunes not to be outshone by the musical production KB blends his styles well no matter what’s placed in front of him.
If you ain’t acquainted with wot he spits then as he would say “get fi know baby.”

With such movements the key to elevation is to link up with as many peeps as possible to make tings happen says Mr Benz “with the blessings of the Almighty Father anything is possible but without him nothing at all is achieved”. So there u have it, not just another wannabe but a true and very real piece of work are you ready? If so get yaself in line.
