Originating from Northern Virginia, KIL is a 19 year old Korean American artist who surfaced in the underground with a series of songs ranging from heavy bass hitting underground bangers, to old school boom-bap influenced tracks, to mellowed out, conscious tracks. KIL is recognized for his out of pocket punchlines, unorthodox flows, and his complex, yet sticky rhyme schemes, influenced by Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Joey Bada$$, Mac Miller, & more. He is a founding member of the Virginia based collective “Double Dollars” (also styled as $$). 
 In late 2017, KIL started gaining traction in the “dark trap” underground scene, with songs such as “dirt” & “BITTER”, although he would soon develop a more polished sound entering 2018. In December 2018, KIL would co-release the records “HEY!” and “MAGIC!” which has amassed over 10 million across platforms, giving him exposure and cosigns from multiple mainstream artists. KIL would go on to co-release the visuals on the “ELEVATOR” YouTube channel, introducing him to a broader audience. With the traction from “HEY!”, came the audio and visuals for “TOMFOOLERY!”, expanding KIL’s fan base even further, and as 2019 continued, he’d go on to establish his solo career with the releases “RUGER” & “5 BUCKS”. 
 As the year finished off, KIL released his singles “GEORGE LOPEZ” gaining over 300,000 streams across platforms, and the simplistic anthem “UH!'
