@Unicorn151 FKA Killa Kherk Cobain Slides on “Mexsicko Bity”

Published

on

Killa Kherk Cobain, now known as Unicorn, is of Liberian descent.  His father was a Liberian immigrant and came to America to escape the civil war atrocities in West Africa. Kherki, as his father named him, grew up on the East Orange/Newark borderline. A perilous neighborhood is known as Down The Hill “Illtown,” where the east coast blood originated (reference the Double ii “Blood Oath” episode on Gangland).  This Down The Hill “Illtown” neighborhood was also where Naughty By Nature and Tupac used to hang out in the mid-’90s, which lead to Bloods from Inglewood, California planting their roots in Illtown to form Double II (which stands for Illtown to Inglewood), one of New Jersey’s deadliest gangs.  Kirk came up through the ranks as a teenage underboss during this new gang regime, as it began to take form on the east coast, and learning from his older family members in Double II, he started a separate faction, the 151 Feva Gang, which then spread and took a major stronghold throughout Newark, East Orange, and Irvington, New Jersey.  

Killa Kherk Cobain, then picked up international attention when shooting the music video for his song “Mexsicko Bity,” which is the first-ever Mexican Jersey Club record. The video was shot on location in Tepito and Condesa neighborhoods within Mexico City, Mexico, an area known for Cartel violence and unsafe for Americans to venture.  This video caught the attention of Mexico’s Tourism Board because of how it highlights the beauty and historical landmarks of Mexico City during Mexico’s coveted Dia De Los Muertos celebration.  Most recently, you can see Unicorn representing Newark in Justina Valentine’s “Strawberry Soda” Music video, which is pushing 3 million views on Youtube.

In the realm of Hip Hop music emerging stars we have JimEMacLive and Ralo tha Pimp. JimEMacLive links up with Ralo tha Pimp to release the smash single “Choose”. ℗Hip-hop has long been rooted in authenticity, and it’s hard to find someone who puts his sweat & tears into the genre like JimEMacLIVE. Growing up on the streets of Indianapolis, crime & violence were prevalent right outside his door, however, a younger version of himself found solace inside with his mother. Helping her clean the house to the sounds of Al Hudson, and discovering music from the likes of E40 & 2 Pac helped shape his musical taste from an early age. When he decided to start crafting his own sound during his teenage years, while the skillset was unpolished, his unwavering determination & versatility were as present as ever. When darkness surrounds his city, JimEMacLIVE wants to be that ray of light piercing through the veil. “This is my therapy. Love, gratitude, determination; you can overcome any & all obstacles that come before you as long as you believe.” Make sure you listen to JimEMacLive feat.
