Cut Killer

About

Cut Killer isn't just a DJ; he's the architect of French hip-hop's raw energy. Rising from the underground scene in the early 90s, his ferocious cuts and blends redefined turntable artistry. He's a master of the mixtape, weaving American boom-bap with the nascent sounds of French rap, effectively creating a cultural bridge. Killer’s style is defined by its aggressive precision, a frenetic energy that captures the urgency of the streets. Winning the DMC France championship in 1990 served as a launchpad, catapulting him to notoriety. His soundtracks for the cult film *La Haine* further cemented his status, bringing the pulse of the banlieue to the mainstream. Collaborations with icons like MC Solaar and IAM cemented his position as a cornerstone of French hip-hop. Beyond the clubs, Killer has continued to innovate, experimenting with electronic music elements while remaining true to his hip-hop roots. He continues to release mixtapes, curate events, and champion new talent, ensuring his legacy as a driving force in the evolution of urban music both in France and internationally.
