KED aka Kadar Isreal is The Dungeon Family's first West Coast artist. Born and Raised in Carson, California (a SubUrb of Los Angeles, ie. Compton) The 27 year old Rap Artist moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 2002 to further his musical career. It was only a matter of time befor the Dungeon Family's premier production team Organized Noize Caught wind of the explosive M.C. and took him under their wing. For two years Ked was burried deep down in the dirty south, in the depths of the Dungeon, crafting his debut The Daily Grind under the experienced Tutelage of Atlanta's greats. The environment was perfect for his revolutionary street music which is often shunned by main stream listeners because of the raw unadulterated realness of his sound. With songs like Big Business, an in your face critique of the effects of global marketing on the ghettos of the United States and BrainWashing (Featuring Dionne Ferris of Arrested Development), a heartfelt rendering of the effects of media and television on the minds of America's youth, you begin to visualise the power that Ked displays on his debut CD "The Daily Grind". Now, the self proclaimed "Gangland Prophet" is set to unleash his soul on the world.
I've performed in various cities including Los Angeles CA, Phoenix AZ, Tempe AZ, Atlanta GA, Montgomery AL and others.
