This is Kid Vicious daunf***awitable, born in Atlanta, GA and raised up in Sylvester, GA since the age of 9 years old and still resides in the "Peanut Capital Of The World". While living in ATL he discovered something that he liked, and that was music. Before moving to the Slytown, he found a particular interest in hip hop, which was on the rise in the mid 80's. After listening to acts like Run-DMC, Whodini, Fat Boys, Doug E. Fresh, and especially L.L. Cool J, he found himself writing lyrics right after moving to Southwest Georgia. By the end of the 80's going into the 90's he had found himself as an artist. But coming up through hard times, with no father in the home, his mother (Ruby Phillips) had to do everything she could to support him and his big sister (Toina). With help from their grandparents and other family members, things started changing. By middle school Kid Vicious had 2 keyboard and a Yamaha Drum Machine. The when he started recording in his room, where he spent most of his time. In the 90's he began to hear a big change in the way hip hop was sounding. By this time west coast rap had taken over and then you had east coast rappers like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Mobb Deep, A Tribe Called Quest, and Lords of The Underground really doing it up. He found it amazing, the west coast artists had some of the tightest beats, but the east ruled lyrically. So that when a new birth of his style emerged, Daunf***awitable was born. By 1997 and had graduated from high school, and just getting off probation for dumb sh*** and hanging with the wrong crowd, he found a new crowd. He and his homeboy Syrup and cousin Ken started kicking it Dru Dixon, by the spring of 98, Dru came over the the house and saw him and K-man in the room rapping to some instrumentals. Shocked by what he saw, Dru was like "I can rap too", by the summer he and Dru had formed Black Nation along with K-man and Big Twist (Infinite). During this time they started recording in the house with a karaoke machine and at Frank Wise's studio. Months later the group had a falling out only to come back together as DUI, Da Underground's Illest. Kid Vicious also put together the Kinematics Fraternity consisting of Hitla (Infinite's cousin) and Riddla the Commissiona aka RDC (Syrup's younger brother, and newly found brother to Dru). They recorded the local classic Hostile Takeover album which soared through Worth County like a typhoon. Another break up came about (2001) only to once again get back together to do 2 more hot album(2004 and 2007)s. Now in 2008 Kid Vicious is going to release his 5th solo project since 2002.
Why this name?
I chose the name Kid Vicious when I was in the 7th grade as a wrestling fan of Sid Vicious. I felt the name would fit my rap style, "Psycho" and "Vicious".
Do you play live?
Yes, I play live when ever there is a gig that I can get to. I love performing live, it gives me a chance to release my true power. One special moments was when my group (Da Underground's Illest) opened up at a party at a night club that was sponsored by a up and coming label (Artisan Records/Platinum Sound Studio).
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's what the world is turning to. Example, you can put hundreds of MP3s on a CD-R, more space for everything.It has shot my career to means I have never seen.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely. I have got to crawl before I walk. And I will do whatever it takes to reach the top of this game and win.
