Kulez

Always glad to make real cool new friends here at SturbanClothing and here's a battler we just hooked up with and he's going to start writing for the blog, introducing Kulez.

The soul survivor wrestling lions and wilder beasts through Kruger Park made it to the southern coast of Africa. Smuggled in a suitcase baby Kulez found himself on British shores.

A few years later, as a youth sneaking into clubs with fake I.D Kulez made a little name for himself by holding on to the Battle Norwich title. He continued to make an impact on the battle scene as a champion of jumpoff.tv.

Wining the UK S.J qualifiers made him the first ever rapper from England to follow in Eminem’s footsteps and compete in scribble jam when he was only 16. Away from battling, Kulez’s tracks and freestyles have been featured on pirate radio stations, Kiss 100 fm, 1 Xtra, HHB radio, BBC Radio, MTV Base, channel U and have received good feedback.

Gaining experience form such a young age he has hosted various events around the country. Although mainly recording hip hop, Kulez is known for his versatile style which means he has undertaken hip hop, dubstep and even grime live sets, supporting the likes of Necro, Task Force, Sway, Jehst, Foreign Beggars, Plastician, Michael Parknson, Ghetto, Devlin, Logan D, Stig, Dr.Syntax, Rusko, Sonnyjim, Kosyne, Gentlemans Dub Club, Jack Flash and more.

U might find him selling fake Rolexes from a trench coat in Magaluf or on www.myspce.com/kulez.... keep ya eyes out...
