About Me

Kalisima aka Karizma has been around the New Zealand hip-hop scene for almost 10 years, starting as a b-boy in late 98 he gave up the floor to pursue his passion as an mc. Since then he has never looked back with five of his own mix tapes and a little over 15 guest appearances including Busta Rhymes, Black Eyed Peas, Cypress Hill and 50cent. In 2007 along with Surkiss and Basic, they established there own indie imprint in Red Corner Records where Kalisima injects his skill and experience through artist and representation, event promotion and of course music direction. With all this to take on board, as well as promoting Christchurch’s first underground monthly Capitol Punishment and working on his own record, its not hard to tell why Kalisima is considered one of the hardest working mc's in the south island. His drive and ambition have helped fuel the flames that has given the south island some much needed attention over the past 4 years. His music has been described as both honest, hard hitting and technically brilliant, but you be the judge!
