IF U DOWN WIT UNDERGROUND HIPHOP!!!. The artists that we have all been waiting for has finallt arrived. The 21st centry artists who is keeping it true and honest is Toronto's own King. Born in Toronto. King has come a long way ferom his days at Jamestown cresent in Rexdale where life was filled with trouble. The young phenomenon started singing in his church choir. "I've been called King since I was a liitle kid because I used to go to church rocking designer suits". "everbody is a pimp, it's the easty tihng to do. I need something that seperates me from all these rappers, and I have it , its called raw talent. "state ! That's just a little piece of the pie that's going to separate me, from the others. My words play is sick and my vacbulary is big. Lots of people say that I sound like Biggie, but I don't think so. " King aspiration of becomiong a boxer was taken away due to an accident that would not allow him to continue. With music in his blood the gears changed direction and his pursuit of a career as rtappper started several years back. Kikng is dropping his frist album the summer 2006. His desire is strong to improve the scene in Toronto and he is his with out doubt, on his way. "I went into the music industry because I'm not pleased with a lot of the other artists. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on them but we, (rappers) are being misrepresented by the people in the Toronto music industry. Rap is not being held down. I like Glenn Lewis but he did not big until he went to the States. I want to help build that industry in my own backyard. "I'll tell you what the problem is here in Toronto with some of the artists, they think that they are gangsters and a lot of that music not acceptable to the masses.their best tracks can't be played on radio because there is too much swearing, and are rap about too much violence. It limits your album sales. In my eyes people are looking for the real "you". There are no Super Thugs in Canada. No one is 50 cents. Violence is no stranger to this artist, who does have something in common with the platinum selling artist 50 Cent. " I have been stabbed 7 times and had a punctured lung and nearly died. This subject never comes up in my rap because I don't want people to look at me as a threat. I want everyone to buy my album. 50 is 50, and I give him the out most respect." Violence took the life of a childhood friend of King and he vowed to never forget him."The song that is close to my heart from my up coming album" Kingdom come". King preforms locally in Toronto from after parties to the Bambu on the lake. In 2003 he won Detroit's Rap Freestyle Competition. King often preforms with Tef and Don and credits them with his decision to sign with Sound Street Records. "I feel comfortable with them being on the same team as me. I believe in Tef and Don's judgment and if they felt Sound Street could not do right by them then they would not have signed. Thats good enough judgment for me. I have plenty of opportunities to go with other labels but I came here'" explains King. At the end of the day when you tear off all the layers to King he just wants to be remembered for the same thing that most people want. "i'm a really nice guy with a Big heart, that's who I am." Look out for King's album later this year.
