Killa Calles - Oberbilk
Hochgeladen von wwwHiphopde
Local press was attending the Oberbilk Video-premiere as well, so your Mad Scientist got a quite nice portrait article in the local newspaper Rheinische Post in the aftermath.
In the footsteps of the big Biz Markie I brought the good sound to Düsseldope's media-harbour spinning the wheels at a special party on March 14th! And like Fluffy once in his better days said "I can't do nuthin' for ya man!", 'cause this will be really exclusive shit. I'm sorry folks.
Yes, yes , yoah, I'm now a beer-baptised member of the Los Jinetes del Apocalipsis crew !!!!!
Puta madre! Me, Play y DJ Rena rocked Madrid real hard on October the 13th; Arrrrriba, Arrrriba! Look for the fotos in my album section.
Here is the video from the liveshow @ Pinto (Madrid) on October 13th
(yeah, I know, a little too dark for the cam):
Did the beat for a song of Salim O feat. Provoke: "Warum?"
Check out the video they made!
If anybody wants to know why I get way too less sleep on the regular and don't have all the time I would need doing my music and & biz (besides my young & hungry disciples who always beggin' for free studio time), this is what I spend most of my time on:
So who is da mad scientist, for real ???
Original resident of the Oberbilk borough of Kraftwerk City aka Düsseldorf, Germany, Killa Calles is beat producer, MC, host of his monthly radio show "Da real HipHop"(since ..98!) at the local public radio station, concert promoter for his "Back to the Future Flavour" series supporting mainly local bands, you name it !
Together with his homie Simmel from the group Nimzwai he is running his own studio called D-Square - as a reminicence to the influential sound of NYC's D&D (R.I.P.!) and of course for the double D in their hometown also known as "Düsseldope". For some pictures look to the right @ "sounds like".
Killa Calles is also a founding member of the group Icklack Squad, a loose collective of different rap-crews from Düsseldorf and surrounding cities, who originally found together during a weekly rhyme cypher in a local youth center called "Youth center at the Icklack" due to the streets name meaning something like" old oak pool" in old german. Together they produced two tapes (2001 & 2003) and a CD (2005).
Besides his beats and rhymes on the Icklack releases, Killa Calles himself had his first tape out in 2000 and some of his tracks or freestyles on several samplers and compilations like "Wortgewand" "Rhein Ruhr Pakt" or the "Beatz aus der Bude" series from colognes DJ Lifeforce.
In 2002 he independently put out his 12" with the Düsseldorf anthem "Düsseldorfs Finest" featuring Jesen & Simmel from Nimzwai. A low budget video to this song made it to national music television it was played in the "mixery raw deluxe show" on viva tv and later on it was in the dial-in rotation of "get the clip" on viva plus getting some weekly airplay.
The clip for Düsseldorf's Finest:
performing Status Quo live @ Back to the Future Flavour 10 (25.05.07 Düsseldope)
Did a beat some time ago for my homie NATIF from O.B.I. (Heiligenhaus). He & Simmel still working on his LP and I will contributing a beat and some verses, too. But for now listen & look at this simple but nice video our now Capo Verde exiler Fu did on a weekend:
KILLA CALLES signed distribution deal with DEF-DICK owned by Äie-Tiems own Hans Solo and KPAs die Mutha:
GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY !!!!
The Killa Calles debut CD "The 1000 faces of KillaCalles" came out of the pressing plant in spring '07 and is distributed by his partners from DEF-DICK.com who are affiliated with Soulfood/Sony Distribution.
STREET DATE WAS MARCH, 30th 2007 ! ! ! !
We already did the shooting of a video for the song "Oberbilk" right in Calles 'hood. Damn, it's still not finished and needs to be cutted. Neverending story! But now I'm confident that I found someone who finishes the job for me. Always independent, always on da hustle.
Hopefully you enjoyed the spooky artwork done by Joe from the Majo Brothers as much as Calles does himself.
Visit the Majos at their myspace profile (you find it in my top-friends) or directly go to Majoland at MAJOBROTHERS.DE .
The Majos brought the "1000 faces"-Cover on a wall at the Kiefernstrasse. It was fun and relaxing on one of the few nice day '07 had with nothing but sun and blue sky. But take a look for yourself:

UPDATED !!!!!!
* 10th of MARCH 21.04 CET
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The federal german state of North-Rhine Westphalia succed in its crackdown on public peoples radio!!!
The ruling conservative-liberal coalition has now to establish a law limiting the commitment of private radio stations to broadcast public people radio shows from up to 3 hours in the evening now to only one hour a day from 21 to 22 pm.
This means that a lot of shows will loose their place and the death of peoples radio!
News update:
I will continue to broadcast with my "Da Real HipHop" show, but sadly it will be from now .. down to a 8 week turnus, thanks to these suckers!
theme music: Public Enemy -"How to kill a radio consultant"
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES !!!!!
Der Landesverband Bürgerfunk NRW hatte gegen diese Pläne mobil gemacht.
Mehr Infos zu der ganzen Sache gibt es unter obigem Link!
