#Zilla kami full#
Me and SosMula have the full monopoly on this genre, and whoever comes out and tries to do it literally is just trying to be us. I feel like I monopolized it, so nobody can really do it as good as me, so it doesn’t really matter. How has it felt to be looked at as a pioneer of trap-metal, and what do you make of your contributions to the genre as well as the imitators who may have popped up since? I still live in the same house and do the same shit every day, so I didn’t see my life change.

What has the response been like since DOG BOY came out? Has anything changed, and has it been a whirlwind of sorts? You will only get it on the surface level. Everyone knows the normal shit I listen to, but I can’t give people the cool bag of tricks. It’s too close to home - I can’t tell you all the bands. I can’t tell you where I get the swag from. Where do these influences come from specifically?

Your music has elements of grunge, nü metal and hardcore. Instead, he chooses to innovate and leave his mark on whatever he touches, only to seek out the next thing to dominate and disrupt. In talking with ZillaKami, he paints a clear picture that he’s an artist who is never willing to stay in one lane. On his latest release, DOG BOY, the music meanders between grunge-inspired tales of self-deprecation and reflective takes on mental health to chaotic arrangements with venomous vocal deliveries that could rival Slipknot’s heaviest material.

Nonetheless, it ends up being a track and music video you’re definitely not going to want to miss, so make sure you take some time and check this release out as soon as you get the chance.Read more: Corey Taylor releases details on 'CMFB.Sides,' covers "On The Dark Side" If you’re familiar with Kami or City Morgue, you already know what you’re getting yourself into with “NOT WORTH IT”, although this new sound might catch you off guard, as it did for me. One activity is an underground boxing match that takes place between a variety of fighters, each one getting more violent than the last.Īs the day continues to unfold, Kami and his group of homies all just hangout, drink, and smoke as he sings along to his song and everyone vibes out in a carefree yet intense environment. Skateboarders are obviously doing their thing as well, but so many other things are happening that this sport is put somewhat on the backburner.

Opening up, we see that an entire band is present, including a full drum set, a guitarist, and a group of fans who are rocking out with the musical phenom. In the JMP-directed music video, Kami takes us to the skatepark where he brings the chaos once again, but that’s not surprising whatsoever if you’re already familiar with his copious amounts of work prior to this. Most recently, he decided to drop a brand0new single entitled “NOT WORTH IT”, and this record shows a different side of him that is still rock influenced, but he isn’t straight up yelling or delivering his aggressive bars quite as much as he has in previous offerings, proving that he’s not even close to being a one-dimensional artist even slightly. ZillaKami is one of these artists, and he has been making some of the best, most hard-hitting songs in the entire world for years, yet he definitely doesn’t get nearly the amount of recognition he deserves, in my own opinion. Even though it seems like there is an influx of artists giving a stab at the rising subgenre of hip-hop that inserts punk and rock elements into the classic style of music, there are definitely some standouts that have been steadily making a case as to why this type of music needs much more recognition.
