Details:
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, Kaliban 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. Kaliban and fellow producer, DJ Obi, a duo also known as The Mint, landed their song, "Sewaside", on the Lions Gate major motion picture release titled "Drive Thru" released in 2007. Kaliban was not done yet. He then starred in "Battle For New York", an independent movie that showed the difference between a "rapper" and an emcee. In true form, Kaliban was cast as the ultimate emcee to square off against sixteen opponents. Not a far stretch from his day to day routine. Kaliban did gain a strong business sense from the making of this movie and he applied that knowledge to his future undertakings.
As a true samurai would, Kaliban is always working to improve his art and has teamed up with several other artists and producers in his quest for Hip Hop supremacy. In the early 2000''s, Kaliban, going by his alias 50 Cal, teamed with producer DJ Obi to release his first solo album, Trigga-Nometry in 2003. It''s heavy, sampled sounds combined with Kal''s lethal lyrical prowess made it a widespread underground success. Kaliban and DJ Obi followed to release several more mixtapes under their alias, The Mint, and a various artists album by the name of Cobra LA. Always hungry for more, while still working on solo projects with the Mint, Kaliban became member of the rap group, the Filthy Rich Criminals (FRC). FRC is not only known for its pulse pounding beats and hard hitting delivery, but for its philosophy of "Industry Terrorism". FRC has completed a full-length album titled "California Whiskey"—which is still awaiting release. In the meantime and in response to fans demands, FRC teamed up with L.A.''s resident mixtape king, DJ Warrior, to put out "CA Whiskey: The Mixtape" in 2007.
Currently, Kaliban is performing shows in LA and with his new LP titled, Point Blank Range, awaiting release—this time aiming for the majors with fresh new sounds while keeping true to his art of being a true lyricist. With sleeper cells such as Filthy Rich, Cobra Los Angeles (CLA), and the Mighty Mint waiting in the wings for the attack signal, Kaliban and his Industry Terror regime are ready to take over all four corners of the world.
Brace your pimp cups and guard your grills, the terror alert is rising and Kaliban is awake.
