About Me
Possessing a God-given talent that captivates and distinguishes this bi-coastal m.c. from the rest, Katmann (born in Oakland now residing in New York)pairs clever wordplay with a smooth, hypnotic flow to make him one of the most dangerousrappers alive. His trademark in-your-face baritone delivery is coupled with distinctvocal cadences and diverse songwriting ability, enabling Katmann’s name to be mentionedalongside the greatest in the game, past and present.
Katmann’s debut album 9 Lives was recorded back in 2003 with West Coast heavyweightproducer Mike Mosley (2Pac, E-40, TQ and many others) in 4 days, a superhuman pace to saythe least. Mosley’s landmark home studio (where the historic 2Pac album All Eyez On Mewas recorded) served as the perfect backdrop for Katmann to lay down a modern-day classicof his own. The result: 30,000 copies sold independently on Gateway Records. The albumwas very well-received on the West Coast Bay Area. It didn’t stopthere, as Katmann and krew embarked on a 3-month North American tour that spanned suchdiverse areas as California, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Washington, Oregon and Canada.
After taking a brief hiatus in the years following the release of his groundbreaking debut,Katmann returns to the rap scene with an enhanced arsenal and a completely new bag oftricks on his follow-up sophomore effort, "What Would Katmanndu?" The hit lead single “SheSaid†(available now on iTunes, Rhapsody, & Amazon.com) kicks the movement off with anupbeat, Latin-tinged, sensually-charged club banger, as Katmann flows over raucous drums
and frantic horns about his various escapades.
Produced primarily by up-and-comer Justin "Juice" Staley and Katmann, What Would
Katmanndu?’s mesmerizing soundscapes have expanded well beyond the Bay and are
enthralling listeners across the country.All of this momentum has led to a featured Center Stage spot in MTV’s“On The Rise†competition, a very appropriate title for Mr. Duesenberg Slimm. With severaldeals and offerings on the table, and success coming at him so fast, the only question leftto ask is…what will Katmanndu?* * * * *
