a nice detail from LJDAs Juxa for me:




The Majo Brothers brought the "1000 faces"-Cover on a wall at the Kiefernstrasse. It was fun and relaxing on one of the few nice spring days '07 had with nothing but sun and blue sky. But take a look for yourself:



Visit the Majos at their myspace profile (you find it in my top-friends) or directly go to Majoland at MAJOBROTHERS.DE.

Shows, Covers & Artwork:



Local press was attending the Oberbilk Video-premiere in January '08 @ HoodCompany spraycan store, so your Mad Scientist got a quite nice portrait article in the local newspaper Rheinische Post in the aftermath.




Biography:

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.


Then in 2007 Calles finally dropped his "1000 faces of..." Album:
