Killah-Gee Physical Challenges Doesn't Stop Him from Shining

Killah Gee is one of those who started with Venda Hip Hop back in 2005 with his Mixtape "Who's The Real" but he claimed the fame with his hit single in 2011 "Asi uri nne ndiani Shavha" it gained airplay in all Venda Radio Stations (Univen Fm/Makhado Fm) and it showed his music got message  when SABC Radio Station PhalaPhala-fm started playing his music including tracks like "Vhasingo Lila and O lata mic".

Killah Gee the only Venda Rapper to be covered by Hype Magazine an African leading Hip Hop Magazine and was also the only Venda Rapper to be interviewed on Hip Hop TV Programme Shizniz , one can say his name is written all over history book of Venda Hip Hop. Due to his hard work some of his tracks were background tracks of Tv Documentaries(Simphiwe Tshabalala Documentary and Daddy 24/7) on SABC1 . SABC2 TV Show La Familia which cover the lives of individuals who are doing changes in their communities in Limpopo documented his achievements last year. Like they say hard work pays late last year Killah was nominee in rap category on first ever Tshivenda Music Awards(TSHIMA) Hosted by Phalaphala-fm ,the competition was tough and the award was won by Mizo Phyll one of Venda greatest.

Killah Gee is a Role-model to many in his community (Lwamando), last year he organised a soccer tournament called "Killah Gee Tournament" at Tshifulanani Stadium were four team participated and the winners got playing kit and medals ,to him this was a way of thanking people who are behind his success.
Back 2011 he was involved in what is said to the real beef in Venda Hip Hop with Coofelo ,a rapper known as "King of Diss",fans were the Sole arbiter of the diss tracks that felo and killah released and Killah was highly criticised for involving his crew on fight that was meant to be the fight of two soldiers .Later both rappers ended their feud with the track called "Unity" and it was the great move for both of them as diss tracks can drag ones name down.

Killah Gee labels himself physical challenged saying he doesn't see himself as disabled, he has accepted his physical condition as he grew up surrounded by people who accepted him the way he is. He did his primary level education at Tshilidzini Special School and went to Filadelfia in Soshanguve were he passed his Grade 12. One can be good in music but without education you going nowhere that's why Killah Gee then decided to do a Diploma in Information Process at Johannesburg Access College he then graduated in 2000. Today as I'm talking Killah Gee is a professional Call Centre Consultant.

He got a professional job but as he said music is a gift from God that's why  he is busy in studio working with Big Names in Hip Hop Game. Venda Hip Hop fans must expect then unexpected as his upcoming project is set to change the way everyone sees Venda Rap . Vili Kha Khana "VKK" will be on your music shelves soon .....
