Someone told me awhile ago Killa Kyelon was the hardest working rapper in Texas at the moment. That assessment may not be too far off. When 2011 was in its early hours, Killa and Yung Chill dropped off “Get Rich Or Die Trying” and it eventually became a track revisited often since then. Specifically one night a few weeks ago when I was driving home at three in morning. Read the rest of this entry »

Rollin’ through the Texas interstate, you have to look clean whether you’re shining in the desert sun or living it up in one of the big cities. Anytime you see Killa Kyleon in H-Town with four wheels spinnin’, he has his Lone Star license and registration in check and the car looks like it came fresh out of the Jolly Rancher factory.

Smoke DZA’s returns with Killa Kyleon for “Roll Up, Pour Up” produced by Cardo On The Beat. DZA’s The Hustler’s Catalog coming soon. Read the rest of this entry »

There is an interesting name to take heed to this year aside from the other marquee rhymers everyone is pegging for greatness at the moment. Yep, don’t look now but Killa Kyleon is slowly crafting a nice auroa around his name. I think we can all agree his showing on K.R.I.T.’s “Moon & Stars (Remix)” was beyond impressive and this time he comes back solo with the CyFyre produced “Get Rich Or Die Trying.” Read the rest of this entry »

The holiday mixtape wave continues with the Jonny Shipes long anticipated Goodtalk, Vol. 9 finally available for public consumption. To be quite honest, I can’t remember the last time I anticipated a mixtape which wasn’t based around one specific artist. However, with a slew of songs from Rugz D. Bewler, Curren$y and a whole heap of new records from Big K.R.I.T. – who also plays double duty as the tape’s host – consider me interested and my enthusiasm curved. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s like butter baby © Q-Tip. Sliding out the year in the same smooth manner with which he entered, K.R.I.T. drops a clip for the “Moon & Stars” remix featuring Kyleon and Spitta riding shotgun. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re seeking higher learning, Spitta will be much obliged to school you on the occult. If you need a guide through the country backwoods, let Big K.R.I.T. lead you over yonder. For those looking to get their hustle game in tip-top shape, Killa Kyleon is the dean of that department. When they’re in the classroom together however, they all become astrology majors and by remixing one of K.R.I.T. Wuz Here’s most outstanding solar systems, Read the rest of this entry »

The last time we had a Texan as leader of the free world things didn’t turn out so well. Gas prices went up, the number of jobs went down and G-Dubya had the hardest time figuring out how to open a locked door. That may not all be Bush’s fault, but that’s apart of the job description to have everything blamed on you when the sh!t hits the fan. Read the rest of this entry »

“Jimmy Iovine know I play with choppers/Industry tried to blackball me from the team like Isiah Thomas.”

While this happens to be a bonus cut from Maino-affiliate Push Montana’s pavement album, FreshDope, you already know what gangster-ass mofo wrote the line above. Considering the in-demand feature, a beat that’s bowling-ball hard and all three MCs rapping it up and selling it rock solid, it’s surprising this was simply an afterthought from the Empire State rapper’s tape.

We said we’d be coming to a venue near you and we’re bringing Leimert Park’s Dom Kennedy to Austin, Texas on September 3rd. Dom’s has been making his rounds, rocking the Famous Factory with Spitta in NYC to a sold out crowd two weeks ago, hitting up the Grog Shop in Cleveland on August 12th, and the Subterranean in Chicago on the 14th. This show will definitely continue Dom’s momentum on his mission to reach Hip-Hop heads across the map. Texas rap veteran, Killa Kyleon, will also be joining the stage with Dom on this stop as will Hollywood Floss and a few others. Read the rest of this entry »

A grind is a terrible thing to waste and Killa Kyleon knows to treat studio time like the corner, more specifically the hood. Still piling bodies up—well into his Gangsta Grillz run with DJ Drama, this Houston Rocket gets some borrowed Heat for his latest single from a couple of guys you probably heard of.

If you want something done right, you’re probably better off doing it yourself. The first time I came across Killa Kyleon was during my wonder years at Hampton University – freshman year if I’m not mistaken. My patna from Houston always played Texas Hip-Hop in his dorm room while we played Madden (when I actually played the game). It was through Slim Thug I became familiar with Killa Kyleon and his music.

Fast forward several years and Killa is out for self. For reasons unknown to me (not that they are my business anyway), Double K is no longer affiliated with Slim Thugga or the Boss Hogg Outlawz. Instead, he is his own boss now as the head of his Authintik Music Group (AMG) imprint and even stumbled upon his own “Gangsta Grillz,” titled Natural Born Killa.

One of the standout records is his collaborative effort with Young Money’s own Gudda Gudda on “Hold Up.” The in-studio visual features the two puffing Mary Jane and drinking out of the now infamous Styrofoam cup while rhyming over a bouncy instrumental. Gudda bats lead off with a catchy offering setting the stage for Killa to drive the record home. It won’t put you in deep thought about the future of society, but will ultimately sound great on a real sound system.

Speaking of his DJ Drama-assisted project, grab it from the link below and ride out today. Thank me later © Drake.

Download — Killa Kyleon & DJ Drama – Natural Born Killa Mixtape

I was originally gonna post the video for Maino’s “Be Me” but this Killa had way more energy.

In the big scheme of things, where in the hell did Houston/Texas go? The region was all the rage a short while ago & now it’s hard to find anything with a buzz coming out of there. Where the fuck is Magno? Kyleon gonna get an album? Besides the bigger names, where’s the rest of the underground from the H that was set to blow?

And where the hell is Lil Flipper at?
