Killa Skrapps

Killa Skrapps are an upbeat, hook-filled, hip-pop experience. Their boundary pushing beats and dense lyrics call to mind artists like Outkast and The Beastie Boys, but the Killa Skrapps sound is surely one all their own. Playing the music themselves, Da Grubot and The Phenom use a broad sonic palette, with sounds ranging from guitars and synthesizers to tablas and slide whistle. The lyrics are at times provacative, meditative, and inspirational, but things never get too heavy, as the boys employ a sly sense of humour to underpin the more serious lyrical themes. The unique vocal blend of Killa Skrapps, combined with adventurous music and clever, never profane lyrics make Killa Skrapps something to be heard; purveyors of a new sound in hip-hop. Their debut album is currently available at www.cdbaby.com/cd/killaskrapps, and they are performing all over the New York area (e-mail killaskrapps@yahoo.com for booking).
