SPOTLIGHT: KILLSWIITCH

Zambian born rapper, Kangwa Henry Mwansa, popularly known by his stage name "Killswiitch" is a new force in the African hip-hop scene with his unique flow and wordplay.

We asked Killswiitch how he would define his music and he said:

"Dark, sad, personal with a pinch of emo. I say "personal" because I feel like the music should be personal, if it’s not then you’re doing it wrong.

I should relate to the music before anyone else does. That way people are not just relating to the music, they are relating to me"

We reviewed "Oh My Blood" which is part of his bloody august EP. We asked him about the inspiration behind "Oh My Blood" and he said:

"Basically, it’s about me letting you inside my life and letting you get a glimpse of what goes down on a day to day basis, how I carry myself and how I tackle the challenges that come my way. Hoping you get to know me a little bit more, rather than judging me and assuming that everything is perfect when it’s not."

If you listen to the song, his expression of his emotions is topnotch and his lyricism is just amazing.

As expected, the chill cult got exclusive info, Killswiitch is currently working on a mixtape, no release dates yet. All we can is anticipate and support!
