Kevin Lourd, better known by his moniker, “Killa K”, is a 21-year-old Tamilian Rapper, hailing from the streets of Bengaluru. Killa K’s foray into hip-hop began as a 16-year-old.

His biggest song Va voi (Come bro), has amassed over 120K views on Youtube.
On 17th July, Killa K released his debut album “From the cave”. It is a 11 track project that not only encapsulates the essence of Tamil Hip-hop, a Desi hip-hop subgenre, as it hosts featured artists from Coimbatore, and Bengaluru, but also carries a global tone via collaborations with artists from different countries such as Malaysia and Serbia.
Some of the significant bangers on the album are:
1. Inge (Produced by Shaq-T). Inge is the opening track of the album and serves as an appetizer for what’s to come when the listener progresses through the project. The beat is spiced with a South Indian touch whilst having a dash of a West coast twang in its soundscape. Killa K speaks about what it’s like to be a Bangalorean, and the local cultural essence that is often submerged by the status of the metropolitan city.
2. 080 (produced by KF & Kavan, feat. Kali & AVP).
080 is track number 7 on the album and hosts two of the biggest names in the Kannada underground scene, namely Kali & AVP. The track serves the role of being a banger, an easy-to-digest track on the listener’s ears with a booming beat as a catalyst.
