With downloads available on KBanger.com, iTunes, Napster, and underground tracks leaking worldwide, the music of K. Banger is reaching far and wide! Alongside performances and self-promotion, K. has managed to get on commercial album releases as well, like Shamanwork Family files vol 1 and 2 (Shamanwork/Koch).

K. Banger made his debut album appearance with his high school friend Miilkbone on a song called "Murder Verbs" (Capitol Records) with various MCs, and single "A Few Good Men" (XCaliber Entertainment/WEA) with Hiphop veteran Tame One and Motown's Chop Diesel.

K. would also meet up with then Subverse Music recording artists Scienz of Life to record "Ghettoz tah Galaxies" for their debut album while performing as the group's percussionist for many shows in New York and Atlanta.

Banger is also a studying musician that has acquired the skills of reading and writing music through classical and jazz piano, and various percussion instruments.

By attending private lessons in his hometown and Boy's Harbor music school for boys and girls in Spanish Harlem, K. has learned a wealth of information about jazz, classical, and Latin music, thus broadening his horizons in Hiphop culture.

In fact, K. was accepted into the Berkley College of Music in Boston after only one year's experience with Latin percussion instruments.

An impressive achievement.

As one of the owners of independent label The Dirt Department, in addition to his many other accomplishments, the outcome is clear - K. Banger is destined to be one of the greats in Hiphop and all genres of music.

Banger has worked with include Mufi (U.N.I.T.Y. - the gold single by Queen Latifah), The Wooze (producer for V2 Records), Nick Wiz (Shabaam Sadiq, Kool G Rap, Chino XL, Cypress Hill), Chop Diesel (Motown Records), Lil Scienz & ID 4 Windz of Scienz of Life (Shamanwork), Quincy Patrick (Joe, J Records) and others.
