kickin the kan.

Real beat lovers know Kankick, and realize his impact on the current beat scene. Indeed, the guy started alongside Madlib, when there was no Madlib yet. Hailing from the same city of Oxnard, California, Kankick rolled with Lootpack, Wildchild, Declaime, Oh No and such, over the years. But he is too independant, too discreet to be linked to a specific crew. So, he took his own road and kept doing collabos on an irregular basis. 
A wonderful beatmaker and producer (his opus "From Artz Unknown" counts among my favorite LP's), Kankick is also a decent MC and an accomplished DJ. He recently cooked up a mix for the one and only BTS Radio. Expect nothing but good taste. 

In addition to that, Prog Porn made this little interview video on a Londonian pavement, in which Kan Zulu breaks it down from the beginning. A chill dude.
