About Me

Representing Shit-Kids all around the world, Kats is a lyrical mastermind attempting to do the impossible: create a movement consisting of the most lazy, unmotivated, apathetic, and pessimistic people in the universe...Shit-Kids.

With the latest release of his LP, Kats The Musical, the critically acclaimed EP, The Shit-Kid Movement, and the explosive Shit-Kid Mixtape, Kats has cornered the Shit-Kid market making his impact felt in every dirtbag's living room where bong water has at one time or another stained the carpet. A veteran of the rap game, Kats has blessed his adoring public with Golden-i: The Enlightenment, Recurring Illness, Call Me Kats, and a now infamous collaboration with MC Babymaker, Asstronuts.

As you may already know, both Kats The Musical and The Shit-Kid Movement are available for sale on iTunes , Napster and Rhapsody .

Kats is already working on new songs for his forthcoming album. Check back regularly for glimpses into the very promising future.

Until then...open the booze up, you are the future, stay real dumb and do what you choose to.

And while you are living it up as a Shit-Kid, don't forget to pick up the gear you need to live a real Shit-Life. That's right - all the rappers are doing it these days, so Kats is too...I present to you...Shit-Gear! Pick up all you will ever need to fill up a closet atCafe Press .

KATS: Bio:

With his third full-length release in two years (Katskills), and shows that continue to attract an increasing number of fans to some of New York’s hottest venues, Brooklyn-based emcee Kats is riding a groundswell of grassroots support. Building on the success of his first two albums, Kats the Musical (featuring a title track that has attained cult-classic status on New York's underground hip-hop scene) and Almost Fameless, Kats has won the admiration of many fans and earned the respect of a few critics.

And the acclaim is merited: Kats infuses subtle, humorous social commentary and clever pop-culture references into complicated, intricately crafted rhyme schemes, while his production team, headlined by DJ SmutVillain and Andy B, keep him well-supplied with inspiring crowd-inciting beats. More impressive than his albums are Kats’ live shows. He has performed at the Knitting Factory, Crash Mansion, Bowery Poetry Club, Baggot Inn, Midway, Pussycat Lounge and Supreme Trading, just to name a few New York venues. His faithful fans religiously attend the energetic shows and these fun-loving hip-hop crowds consistently earn him return invitations to some of New York's most desirable stages.

In the past year Kats has placed one of his songs in a feature film, Kats the Musical was in rotation on a few college radio stations, and he’s collaborated with some of the best up-and-coming hip-hop artists in New York. He has also been featured on numerous blogs, including being honored as Artist of the Week on Hey! Nielson and Billboard.com Best Hip-Hop Blog website Adam's World. His emphasis on creativity, originality and meaningful content is reminiscent of a time when hip-hop was fun and smart, not glittery and gangster. But while he may remind us of the good old days, we can only hope the future of hip-hop includes nine lives for this emcee, because Kats kills!

"Probably the best artist you've never heard of, Kats reminds me of a frightening Russian mob lovechild begat by a young Adam Yauch, or better yet, a coherent Kool Keith."

–Robert Taylor, former Playbill & Stagebill Program

"The energy and chemistry is infectious and every show I've been to has left me utterly spent but thoroughly satisfied."

–Robert Taylor, former Playbill & Stagebill Program
