Sounds From The Underground

Kankick - Serious Business This
Kankick has been chopping drums with fellow Oxnard legend Madlib since Junior High, and was an original member of the Lootpack. Raised by a single mother, Kankick immersed himself in music from childhood. Pillaging his Moms records he developed his ear, with music ranging from Bruce Springsteen to RUN DMC. Fiercely independent, Kankick broke off from the Lootpack to form his own Funk Farm crew, whose members included DJ Babu and Gods Gift. Honing his own unique sound over the years, Kankicks production is still light years ahead of todays contrived and static Hip Hop scene.
