ABOUT THE “STREET FEVER” MIXTAPE EP!
I put this mixtape together because I wanted to put together a collection of songs that me and Bossie Breed did together before he moved back to Chicago back in middle October, I also put this mixtape together to give to my fans so it would hold them over until my brand NEW mixtape EP i’m working on called “RED DREAM” drops. This is sort of like a “BEST OF” mixtape.
Basically, this mixtape was suppose to an album with brand new songs but I didn’t know Bossie Breed was gonna move back to his hometown so soon, so after I found out he moved back to the Chi, I figured he wasn’t coming back to Georgia no time soon so I just grabbed the songs we collabed on and made a mixtape. Most of these songs are from my “KuttaStyle” mixtape and also all of the songs from Bossie’s “Rocktown Kush Land” mixtape but there are also 4 NEW songs on this tape which is tracks 11, 16, 17 & 19… and also a couple songs from my artist/cousin Yung KK’s “From Ragz 2 Richez” mixtape which also made Bossie Breed’s mixtape.
After Bossie Breed left the state, Bossie told my cousin Yung KK he was possibly coming back to GA sometime in early 2012. Bossie is my artist from 848 Swagg Unit who I signed back in March. There will possibly more new music from Bossie Breed in the future but until then, bump this mixtape and lookout for my new mixtape “RED DREAM” dropping soon!
*Update* Bossie Breed is back in Atlanta and is now staying. He also agreed for us to do another mixtape together, so therefore, there will a “Street Fever Part 2″ mixtape in early 2012. We are already in the process of working on it as we speak. More info coming soon!

Fake Trapper [Official Video]
This video for the song “Fake Trapper”, available now on Kaptain Kutta’s “The Year Of Kaptain Kutta” and “KuttaStyle” mixtape!
ABOUT THE SONG:
I’m going make the insights short because as of late, i been kinda lazy and now, i’m tired of typing a long insight to my videos, which i will also make an announcement regarding that in a few weeks.
The song is about these rapper trying to be “trap rapper”, just in case you don’t know what a trap rapper is, a trap rapper is a person who have experience on the streets selling drugs and rap about it. There is more to it. Most of the people thinks it is also about robbing and people who have weapons but that don’t define it.
Anyway, it’s some rappers that wannabe trap rappers, which is NOT talent at all, especially if you have no experience. These are rappers by example that does has experience at trapping: Gucci Mane, OJ Da Juiceman, Young Jeezy, T.I., Yo Gotti, Waka Flocka and more but there is also rappers who don’t have experience at that and yet talk about it in their music. There is a couple rappers I can name, like this person who got signed to a record deal at 17 when his dance song broke out, since then, he fell off after his 2nd album and his 3rd album poor sales proved that point. I’m not gonna say his name but now you see why people say Hip Hop is dead but since i’m a underground artist, I have nothing to do with that.
So… I had to make a song to let people know about these wannabe trap rappers, the original song has my artist Bossie Breed on it but you find that version on my 1st mixtape “The Year Of Kaptain Kutta”, you can also find the song without Bossie Breed on the “KuttaStyle” mixtape at www.KKOFmusic.com/freemixtapes. The beat was produced by me was 50% flipped from Waka Flocka’s Robot Rapper song.
ABOUT THE VIDEO:
The video was another simple music viral video and no need to go thru with that.
That’s it for the insights. I’m dropping a mixtape Monday called “Street Fever”, it a duo mixtape by me and Bossie Breed. I put together the mixtape just to hold you over until my new official mixtape drops in the near future. More details coming soon. You can view the cover/artwork and track list at www.KKOFmusic.com/freemixtapes and will be dropping Monday, Dec. 5th at 2pm on HotNewHipHop.com – Check out the countdown here >>> http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kaptain-kutta-street-fever-mixtape.36122.html

Another New Mixtape Dropping + Mixtape Release Date!
What’s up yall!
Ok, so I was going thru some of tracks that I haven’t released yet, these tracks did not make my last 2 tapes because they were either unfinished or some were not mixed the way I wanted them to be. I recently had some down time to finish these tracks, and I also found a couple more tracks I did that were on other people’s mixtape as I was a song feature on. Although I was planning to release these tracks but did not plan to put out another mixtape, why, because I just dropped the “KuttaStyle” mixtape. So I said to myself, “why leave these tracks sitting around, might as well make a new tape with these tracks” and I decided to go with that idea.
Now i’m proud to announce my final mixtape/free album of 2011 is titled…..”GAMETIGHT” (mixtape artwork below!)
Pretty decent artwork huh, if you didn’t notice, I had this cover posted in the “FREE MIXTAPES” section of this site for about 2 months now. If you seen it, oh well, if you didn’t, well, here it is!
There another thing I have to announce, the release date of the tape. The mixtape will be dropping on…..HALLOWEEN!
I figure the name is awkward in a way but yet different than others, and my favorite word. I even made a saying with the word. “Gotta get your GameTight, Gotta get your game right, everyday, everynight, gotta have your gametight”, which means stay on your hustle, everyday and everynight – if you fail, learn from your mistakes and don’t let the haters win. I don’t know how it’s gonna do in views and downloads but hopefully, it will catch on to people when they see the mixtape title.
So as you know, this will be a free album/mixtape because i’m not at the level where I can sell it yet, and I don’t think I will ever be, so show your support and I will appreciate your love and effort. This is my final mixtape of the year and hopefully, it will keep you rocking until I release some new music in 2012.
GameTight drops October 31st!

K.K.O.F. – Box Kutta (feat. Jorge Fuenez) video!
This is the music video is for the song “Box Kutta” (feat. Jorge Fuenez)
Song available on K.K.O.F.’s “The Redprint 3″ mixtape
FREE DOWNLOAD – Click HERE to download mixtape
ABOUT THE SONG:
Well, this all started when I was working on my artist Jorge Fuenez mixtape “The Contraband Man”, but even before that, I was bored one night, so I decided to make a beat, I wasn’t aware for what I was gonna use it for yet but I wanted to do a hype style beat, so I made one and it was hype to def.
I think it was about a week after I made the beat, I check my email and I got the verse vocals from Jorge Fuenez to mix with a song called “Humility” from his latest mixtape “The Contraband Man”, which is a classic mixtape by the way.
Than a couple weeks later as I was in the studio recording songs, I happen to go through my files in my hard drive and found the same beat I made a couple weeks back, so I was in recording mode, I wrote about 60% of the verses but didn’t have no hook yet, after I wrote the verses, I went ahead and recorded the verse I wrote and then after I recorded, I decided to go in my files and find a sample where I can place a chorus on the song. I listened to Jorge’s verse from Humility , I listened until I got to the last line of his verse, in his that line he said “I look sharp, I rock shutters, you can fight me, or you can box kutta”, I thought that was the tightest line I ever heard. BTW, Kutta is the 2nd “K” in my name K.K.O.F. (King Kutta On Fire), so I used as a hook because it kinda sounded like it could be a chorus for song. I named the song “Box Kutta”, yeah I know it’s crazy. Jorge had no idea I sampled his verse and made it in a hook but he liked it. I think he likes it when I sample his verses. Thanks Fueezy!!
ABOUT THE VIDEO:
Well, we was supposed to do the video back in the beginning of the year but Jorge had school at the time and didn’t have time so I had to leave it alone for a while but I almost forgot about doing the video but i’m glad he reminded because I wanted to do the video so bad and I really like this song.
Since Jorge was finished with school, he went ahead and did some clips to the video. He sent me one clip but did two different scenes of his part where he mouthing his words, one shot was regular, which was toward the camera and the other one was him facing towards the side.
I ended up shooting my two clips 3 days after he sent his to me. One of my shot was in my backyard and the other shot was with me on all red with the Kanye West shades on. Oh, there’s also a shot where I was drinking Pepsi, haha, had to do something crazy.
It took me an hour and 47 minutes to edit this video. It was worth it. That’s all I got for now. Lookout for my new mixtape “Regeneration: The Hip Hop Recovery” dropping June 20th!

Info About Jorge Fuenez “The Contraband Man” Mixtape Droppin’ December 18th.
Greeting everyone!
Well, guess what, I decided to give you a few insights to my artist up-to-date, Jorge Fuenez’s 3rd project. He last 2 mixtapes “The Dirty Rag” and “Back N Bootleg” didn’t really didn’t cut it for him but this one i’m working with him will make heads turn. It’s almost complete and me and the promo crew will do some promoting for it within a few weeks. So far, I been giving yall my stuff, now it’s his turn. Let me tell what you need to know.
His 3rd project is called “The Contraband Man”, pretty cool title huh, it’s bootleg but creative.
The goal for his project is to: steal rappers rapping styles, display his comedian style on my beats and to display his lyrical style. You will get half of Jorge’s life on his mixtape in a true Jorge Fuenez fashion.
The production on the project will have my former producer J.J. Playboi, a couple of beats from Peanskean and last but not least, most of the beats will be produced by myself. Some of yall might can tell if I made a beat on the project if you happen to hear these voice tags “K.K.O.F. on the beat” or “You’re listening to a K.K.O.F. beat, boy!” and some of song doesn’t have them but i’ve produced most of the beats from the mixtape, including “Salvation Army”, “Food In My Mouth” and “The Dirty Rag Song”. Yall know my beats are FIRE, my beats are often compared to Drumma Boy, Scott Storch, No ID and Mannie Fresh.
The promotion part will be upon me, my executive promoters and Jorge. There will be videos, he prefers to his videos on green screen, I will edit his music videos from time to time and that’s about it.
I’m excited about his first Swagg Tyme Nation project, he proven that he can match up with any underground emcee. This new Jorge Fuenez project will NOT disappoint you. We looking to finish up the project by next week and having it posted on this site on December 18th, which is the release date. Be sure to download it when it comes up.
Oh yeah, we also working on another project but it’s not a solo project, details about that coming soon but until then, it’s all about The Contraband Man – droppong 12/18/10! Follow Jorge on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/JorgeFuenez_STN

INSIGHT/ABOUT THE MIXTAPE:
The last mixtape I released was “The Redprint”, weeks later, it became a classic to people. It also lead me to drop my first official album “The King With Swagga” in August 2010. This is mixtape number 3, but techinally my 9th. The most anticipated and the last mixtape of 2010. This mixtape is intended to help the people in the streets, stopping the violence, getting rid of the drugs and keeping it positive, this is not just a mixtape but an urban classic prequel to my 2011 mixtape world premiere: RP2 a.k.a. The Redprint 2, more info about that when it’s around that time…but what I told about the mixtape in the previous blog is not all the details of how it came together.
After I released “The Redprint” mixtape, I started coming up with new songs, and new ideas for beats. One of the songs I made was inspired by one of my church friends, “Look At Me” was one of them songs. I recorded that song back in April but then in the summer, I had a couple fans ask me to put my music on iTunes and stuff because they thought they worth, plus once I figured out that i’d get payed for the songs they purchase, so I went for it and started working on new songs for the album. The “King With Swagga” album released on August 3, 2010. My last album sell was on September 9th, I haven’t sold a single or an album since then, I don’t know if it’s the songs on the album or not. Now I find myself regretting releasing the album because of that.I worked hard on the album but at least sold over 5 units.
Now it’s October and i’m back to releasing free music again, which lead me to this exclusive mixtape called “Swagg Season!”
This mixtape is intended to show people that how much I love making music, helping spread the positive swag movement, life and a prequel to my other upcoming 2011 exclusive release “RP2 aka The Redprint 2!”. Also includes my Kuttastyle single (an no thinking-type freestyle), an 8bar freestyle song called “Haterade!”, plus my newer songs includes “The Streets”, a song about the life of the poor people on the street (Produced by ME!) and “Paycheck” an unmixed version produced by ME. I produced 8 songs on this mixtape…
So, check it out! It’s a good EXCLUSIVE mixtape, and I hope you like it!!

K.K.O.F. – “Swag Music” Video!
This video is for the song “Swag Music” (Produced By K.K.O.F.), Song appears on K.K.O.F.’s “The King With Swagga” album
To download K.K.O.F.’s “The King With Swagga” album, click HERE
ABOUT THE SONG:
I really don’t have much to say about the song but basically, I was in the midst of making The King With Swagga and I had a beat I had made back last year. I supposed to give the beat to A.P.T. but somehow, it wasn’t in the folder along with the rest of the beats where I sent a stack of beats to A.P.T., but then I knew that I would use the beat anyway, so since I was at the time working on the beats for his Non Juan project, the beat was laying around and also, I forgot I had the beat because it wasn’t in my hard drive. I usually make a beat, mix it then transfer the beats to my passport hard drive, but at that time, I didn’t have one, so the beat was just sitting around in my old washed up computer, which is where I currently produce and mix my beats.
When I decided to make the album, I had found the beat, so I copied it to my hard drive and later wrote to the beat. Technically, I compared the song to “Swag Game”, so I just wrote the song about haters, how much I hate skinny jeans/tight clothes, added a mini-metiphor and my own definition of swagga. As for the chorus, very much simplistic on my part but I ran out of hooks for that song…and that’s it.
ABOUT THE VIDEO:
The video was pretty much repeating what I done in my last videos. I couldn’t use the green screen because (1): I don’t have the right light equipment for the green screen and (2): I have took the green screen down and packed it up because i’m moving to my new home on Wednesday.
I shot this video 5 times, Actually I shot one of the sections last week, I could’ve finished last week but I was kinda lazy, that shot was the one with the almost pink-ish/purple background, which is a bed spread on the back door because my mom took the regular curtains down. I also shot 3 more shots, 2 of them had messed up quality and one was clear. I’m not gonna go into details about the others. The editing time for the video was 2 hours.
The song/beat itself sounds like T.I. or Young Jeezy style. I have one more video i’m making for a song from “The King With Swagga” album, which i’m gonna ended making by the end of next week when I move into my new home; by the way, I have a mixtape that just had released by Nu Sound Entertainment, not me. It’s called “I Am Kutta”, you can download the mixtape for free by clicking HERE, basically, it’s not lyrically the best mixtape but could’ve did better, but then again, I was NOT in rapping mode, when i’m not in rapping mode, my music will not be lyrically the best but one thing I know, RP2 a.k.a. The Redprint is coming real soon folks and I promise you is gonna like it. That’s all for now. Peace!

Today’s music video is for the song “Life Without You” (Produced By K.K.O.F., That’s ME!)
ABOUT THE SONG:
I previously had this song on one of my mixtapes called “The Redprint”, but then, as I was working on the album, I thought that this song would be worth selling since people like the song, so I took it off the mixtape on put on my debut album.
How this song came together was one day, I was going through some relationship issues with my ex girlfriend and them issues came as a result to us breaking up. Once that happen, I had gotten a little inspiration, just a little, but not much.
Technically, I haven’t thought of a song like it because I haven’t wrote a deep song within 3 or 4 years but the fact was that my ex girlfriend kinda hurt me badly, I felt that I had to put it in a song, not that I didn’t care or wanted her back, but my reaction to my idea was kinda creative on my part. I didn’t think of the idea just because I wanted my ex to come back to me, I wanted to do it because I wanted to show people that not only I create dance/club songs, but make songs that is kinda deep and have that soul feel to it. Since I had the idea in my head, I went to my computer and made a beat from my Fruity Loops program. It took me about 30 minutes to make the beat in addition to 15 minutes for mixing the beat, then after that, I grabbed a pen, my notepad, played the beat and started writing.
It was not hard writing the song because I knew what I wanted to get off my chest. While I was writing the song, out of no where, I started singing, which was another idea I had anyway but I wanted to make a beginning bridge to the chorus of the song and then the verses. I wrote the verse first and it took about 10 to 15 minutes and the chorus took about 5 minutes. The chorus was repetitive but a little catchy.
The writing part of the song was basically suppose to talk about how much I miss that girl, how important the relationship is to me and how my life would turn out if I didn’t have her, the words that I say in the song are deep but yet a little sad. I wanted to make it seem like i’m begging her back at the last verse after the singing bridge of the song.
After I got done recording the song, it sounded great, even though at the time I recorded this song a year ago before I got my professional recording equipment. You probably ask this question: If you made the song last year, how come you did not put this song out?: Because also at that time, I was planning to make an album and that song was gonna be featured on it but I didn’t have no way to sell it, so I just left it. This is one of the deepest songs I ever written and now, the song has proven to be good.
ABOUT THE VIDEO:
Well…I had a idea to shoot the video on the green screen but due to the lack of lighting I have, I had to go back to the basic video shoots. I also didn’t have no idea of shooting this video, but just basically did what I wanted to do. In addition to that, people was asking me when i’m gonna make a video to the song, this was back when I had the song on my last mixtape “The Redprint”.
I did 3 different shots for the video. All of them was in my room,. One was standing against my room wall, the second was on my bed, the shot was kinda low from my face so I couldn’t put in all of it in the video, and the last shot was me in the same place but with the room light off. There was one shot I left, well…I forgot and that’s it!
That’s all folks, enjoy the video and be sure to download my album on iTunes today!

K.K.O.F. – “Look At Me (God In My Life)” music video!
Today’s music video is “Look At Me (God In My Life)” Written & Produced By K.K.O.F.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MUSIC VIDEO/SONG:
Well, first off, for now on, I’ll be changing up the way I do my insights on my blogs, due to a request I got.
Any way, I made this song back in January and I got inspired in church one day. I was thinking about how thankful I am to be living and how GOD can make things happen for me. I had to make this song because I LOVE GOD and he loves me. I was also talking about how I ain’t got friends, haters being mad because i’m a child of GOD, and giving inspiration to people to say “Look At Me, I got GOD in my life”, just to speak up on.
As for the video, like I said before, I don’t have a camera but in a few weeks, I probably have another one soon. I shot the video on my MAC computer, it has a built in camera in it, how cool. I did one of my shots standing up and the other shot was repeating the “Fresh” video as sitting down. It only took almost an hour to edit the video, just for a 2 minute video.
Anyway, That’s all I feel like typing for now. Oh yeah, My first album “The King With Swagga” is dropping tomorrow people on iTunes, Amazon & more, so stay tuned…

K.K.O.F. – “Fresh” music video
JOIN ME LIVE ON USTREAM JULY 13TH TO HAVE A LIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT MY DEBUT ALBUM “THE KING WITH SWAGGA” DROPPING 8/3/10 AT www.ustream.tv/KKOFmusic
Today’s music video is “Fresh” by K.K.O.F., Produced By ME. Yep, I’m on them beats once again.
INSIGHT FOR THE SONG:
Okay, This all happen when I was in a recording session with one of my friends named Young Black, who is also a rapper from Atlanta, GA. It was a boring weekend and I didn’t have anything to do, I wasn’t schedule to work, didn’t have anybody to hang out with because they were all busy and yada yada yada. So my friend Black had called asked me could he come over because his girlfriend went out of town and we haven’t seen each other in a while, so I told yeah, come on, so he came and the first we did is work on a track for his mixtape, I was playing through all of my 50 beats I made for him and he chose 4 of them.
So I made one collab track with him and the rest I produced for him, but then again, he wanted me to produce his whole mixtape, but with that, he gave me 30 dollars, which is not bad but he is a friend of mine so I did. 4 hours later, we got done recording and stuff.
After he left, I was mixing down his tracks and he said something very interesting in one of the songs I produced for him, I heard in his song “Damn You”, he kept saying “Fresh” like 4 times, I thought that was tight and thought that I could make that a chorus for a song, but I needed a beat and at least two verses.
So I looked into my beats folder on my hard drive to look for a beat to match the idea I was thinking, technically, none of them seem to my fit my idea. So… I had to get to working on a beat. For the beat on my Fruity Loop program, I started with 808′s, then a clap; the unfinished beat was kind of slow, so I decided to make an uptempo style beat since I haven’t made a song from them type of beats in a while.
As I continued making the beat, I added a low pitched saw, a snap (which you can hear with the clap), my favorite instrument to put in a beat – the piano and repeated up-pitched saw in the chorus. It took me only 30 minutes to put it together.
Okay, so now I had the beat, it was time to think of a song to make out of it, the idea had in my mind had went away, so the beat sat around a while…
Meanwhile, I was involved in another recording session with another collabo with some artist from New York who wanted a mixtape track for their compilation mixtape. As I was getting ready to record the song for them, that idea I had before to make my own song out of had popped in my head once again, but at the same time, I had to get focused on the current song I was about to record. I hate when my ideas come together and then they go away, it sucks.
That next morning, pulled up the beat I made that day and started listening to it, and I was wondering if I could give this beat to T.I., since I heard he was coming back to Atlanta after performing in major venues and stuff. When that time, I couldn’t get to him, I really wanted to meet him but other things had to be taken care of at that time.
Since I couldn’t get to T.I.,well, I decided I have to jump on the song myself, then once again, my chorus idea popped up in my head, again. I re-worked on the chorus idea I had so it would sound like something I would say. And then… NOTHING.
Yes it went away once again, which got me a little frustrated.
Yes, the beat laid quiet with no words layed down from me for almost two weeks. Finally, two weeks ago, I had thought that, even though I wanted to include the song on my first album, “The King With Swagga” (available August 3rd, 2010), it would be great if I had this to be my lead single, but once again, that chorus idea popped up in my head, and this time, I made sure it did not go away. So I grabbed a piece a paper at fast as I could and wrote it down, then I rehearsed with the beat playing and it sounded perfect, but I had no verses and no arrangement for the beat.
I thought of another for the verse of the song, it dawned to me that what if I could write this song with all the word of each sentence rhymes through the whole song, so I got to working on that idea and got to recording the chorus. My ideas was coming together at the point.
In the verses, I didn’t wanted to record too loud, so I decided to record with a smooth flow with each word with the same word rhyming, and after that, the song was done. So that was it.
Here are some interesting song facts:
1. The part in the first verse where I say “Yo Gotti gave me a check” is really true. A couple months ago, I went to Texas for a celebrity basketball game, one of my friends who I used to go to school with knew Yo Gotti and called him. I had entered a contest, too long to explain but let me fast forward. I played in the game, then later, since I was a member of the winning team, Yo Gotti took us out to a dinner and meanwhile, I got to meet Birdman, Drake and Nicki Minaj, (which who happened to show up when we was about to leave the place and she was about to go to New Jersey for a show). I also told Yo Gotti that i’m a producer and luckly, I had a CD with a beat for him, which was planned.
So… 3 weeks later, he liked one of the 3 beats I gave him and gave me a BIG check. The bad thing is, I haven’t a song from him off that beat I sold him.
2. The part where I say “I got them beats on deck” is also a true fact, I got beats people, holla at me!
3. As you can listen to the song, all the words rhyme. Example: fresh, best, stress, etc..
4. The pianos from the song kinda reminds you of the song I produced from A.P.T. called “Kate Gosselin Is A B***h”, yeah I just realized that.
5. My favorite lines were: “I took my dog to the vet, and I make them girls so wet”, I thought that was kinda clever of me to say that, Even though the song is called “Fresh”, just wanted to try something different in my song idea.
INSIGHT FOR THE VIDEO:
Well, as yall heard the story in my 2 previous blogs, My plans for the video was pretty much ruined, thanks to my sister.
Yesterday, I still wanted to make a video for the song, but I was worried that it might not work out because I like to do my videos at different locations and stuff, plus sitting in one place might be boring to the people. At the same time, the song was my main single for my album “The King With Swagga” (available August 3rd).
Since I didn’t have no other camera but my MAC camera, I went on ahead and shooted the 2 shots for the video. I had also found another video of me in front of my green screen standing and mouthing the words, I had forgot I tested out my new green screen. Unfortunately, due to the lack of light I got, I couldn’t put no background with it because the backdrop wasn’t clear. It had spots in it. I thought I had enough light for the green screen but even 3 lamps and 3 ceiling room lights didn’t help. So I left the video as it is.
As for the other two shots, I sat down in the chair with the MAC camera facing towards me, I decided to change the appearance in them shots so it wouldn’t look the same, I wanted to place my place in another room but my parents will trip if I take it out of the room, which is messed up because it’s my MAC, I bought it, not them.
I decided to put some effects in the shots so it wouldn’t look too boring, then the next thing was the editing. The editing time was a total of 2 to 3 hours. Since I didn’t feel like uploading it to YouTube at that moment, at 12am this morning, I uploaded it on MySpace and Twitvid (a video site that is made by Twitter). Uploading the video on MySpace took almost an hour and Twitvid took 30 mins. Then just about an hour ago, I uploaded on YouTube and it only took 15 minutes.
So..Yeah, the video is not like my other music videos but i’m glad I got this product out. On a brief note, My mom supposed to help me get another camera next month, so this is the only video you might have to see for a while.
Some interesting video facts:
1. There were two different shots in the video where I was sitting down in the downstair den,
- one was without my shades on and my cap turned back!
- the other was with my shades on and my cap turned to the front!
2. I decided mouth the words two well where I was shooting in front of the green screen because I had bit my tongue.
3. The part where I had my shades on, okay, that part was a little dark because I had the light off in the room. I was too lazy trying to do another one.
And that’s all I got for today! I hope you all enjoy the video, and will pass it along to your friends. And yes, this song WILL be on the album, “The King With Swagga” dropping August 3rd, on iTunes, Amazon and more.

K.K.O.F. – “Carbon Copyz” (Produced By ME!)
Follow me on Twitter: www.Twitter.com/KKOF
Today’s song is “Carbon Copyz” (Produced By K.K.O.F.)
INSIGHT INTO THE SONG:
I always wanted to do a song something or exactly like this, I was at a store one day and I had thought of a concept of someone trying to do things exactly the person does, which people calls a copycat, but I didn’t just wanted the name of the song to be copy cat, so I switched it the title into Carbon Copyz. Then I thought of an hook for the song. I quickly grabbed a piece of paper and wrote it down quickly as a could before I forget, at the time, I didn’t feel like writing verses for the song, so I pretty much just rapped what was on my mind, but then, I realized I needed a beat with it, so I got on my old slow computer and spent 45 minutes making a beat to go with the song.
As I was making the beat, I was rapping and more the more I rapped, the more things I thought to say, and minutes later, I finally finished the beat and I was ready to lay some verses down, but I was not done. Next, I had to arrange the song to lay my verses on. I didn’t know if I wanted to do two 16 bars verses or three 12 bars verses. Honestly, i’m a 8 bar person, I like my songs to be just shorter than 4 mins long. When I write a full 16 bar verse, especially 3 of them, I will run out of things and ideas to talk about after the 2nd verse, so I decided to arrange the song where I chant my name, do a little talking and straight into the 1st verse, usually I arrange my songs where I do the chorus first then to the verses.
In the song, I expressed the things on my mind in terms of people wanting other people do the exact things that certain people doing but while thinking of things to talk about for the song, I didn’t really know how the chorus was gonna be but I had to be a little creative while it was on my mind. An hour later, I thought of an great hook for the song, then it was onto the recording session. It took me a hour to record the song and this song happen to be recorded at 1am in the morning, I had to keep down my voice because my dad was upstairs sleep and he had to get up in a few hours. I think it’s a good concept for the song for people who notice other people trying to copy them, if that’s how you can quote it!!
Song Tidbits:
1. The tempo of the song was a little bit faster, so I thought if I slow the beat down, it would probably sound better. I’m glad my old computer didn’t start skipping when I was making the beat.
2. If you think or compare this beat to producer Drumma Boy, well, you can because it does. I wanted this beat to have that dirty south feel to it.
3. The chorus concept also came from A.P.T.’s song “Mini Me”, which you can view on YouTube.
4. At towards the end of the song, I state that the 3 songs I produced for A.P.T. was a true fact that they were big hits I produced for him.
I did not do a video because basically, I didn’t have time to shoot and edit one, so I will be dropping a brand new music video sometime next week, and it will be off my album “The King With Swagga” coming soon. So…That’s it for now!

Info About The First Official K.K.O.F. Album: “The King With Swagga!”!
What happening people!
Well guess what, I’M BACK and I have finally decided to give you a little insight into my first album project. It’s was suggested by a lot of people who is into my music and i’m sure I will be doing a promo for it soon, so, for those people who have been patiently waiting for some new product from me, here’s some stuff of what you need to know about this album!
1. The album will be called…
“THE KING WITH SWAGGA”
Wow, I like that title, pretty cool huh?
There is a reason why I chose this title, here is the reason: I’ve been dubbed that name because of these 2 things, my cousin, and my former name. (1): My cousin nickname is Da Christian Wit Swagga, which is a little similar and (2): For those who remember way back when I used go by the name King Kut, well, the point is that i’m the king of catchy songs, king of catchy booty music and the king of the popular beat-making program Fruity Loops, which I use to make my beats, but there so much more why I got that name.
The “Swagga” part is extremely true about me, but to me, it’s not all about the clothes and jews, it’s about staying true to yourself and always put GOD OVER EVERYTHING, yes I also have a spiritual side as well, but then again, clothes can be a little factor to the story but i’m going to the details. Some people say the word “swag” is getting old, but the new and upgraded word is “Swagga”, what I call external swag, which will never get old. Also, I will let people know what kind of rapper I am and purposeful. The opening tracks from the album are more laidback and has that new school sound – you can compare my most popular “Never Been A Lame”, which is aggressive, but not like in a 50 cent type style where he is talking about killing people. I wanted some of the songs to give a feeling of “hyped out” style to the listeners.
2. The tracks are New Aged & Catchy!
Well, some might say that i’m a new school version of Master P, which who I get my inspiration from, as well as Gucci Mane; but my main goal for this album is to get my name out to the public, to make songs that would prove how much of a hit-maker I really am; and to display some of my beat-making skills as well because I believe have a chance of being on the verge of being a major producer in the game.
(a): SWAGGA
I’ve already detailed this in the previous paragraph. Needless to say, I am talented and well rounded, and I tend to do that best through writing. On one track, I display some of my best flows just in case people think I’m playing around, I don’t want people to know how serious I am about being a true musician in the game. On other tracks, I talk about things in everyday life from relationships to how i’m so “swagged out” I am, haters and the nature of foreplay.
(b): GOTTA MAKE HITS
At the end of the day, making music is something I made as a routine, but now, it’s supposed to make me money and get me noticed. I have become real good at creating choruses that are catchy, and selecting out my beats that will get the people bouncing on the dancefloor, or bumping in the car. I can do all that without having to talk about smoking, drinking, killing people, sexing, or the other things that most rappers be talking about. I don’t like to talk about that stuff because that’s not what i’m about. You will get to hear a little bit more about a little of my life on this album than I usually talk about on my mixtapes, also in a true ATL fashion with a twist.
(c) GOTTA GET THE BEATS:
Well, Some people think that I was making beats before I started rapping, I hate to boast, but yeah, i’m pretty good at making beats but what i’m trying to prove is that I started getting involved music as a rapper. When I first started rapping, I didn’t have beats and I didn’t know how to make them but I knew how to play the drums well, but not professionally; besides the point; I got a little notoriety, I’m still working on getting my own beats out there as well.
On this album, I got some beats I made that I feel are gonna go hard with the public. Some of them have certain concepts, while the other beats are just fresh with an K.K.O.F. twist. My beat-making style is pretty moderate or sometimes advanced: much like Drumma Boy or Jermaine Dupri, I like to make beat patterns that are relatively somewhat complicated, I like to challenge myself to be better and more effective when it comes to my beats.
Well, since this is my first album, I decided to have no guest producers on the album. Yep, all tracks are produced by me. Most of my beats have a dirty south bounce to them, while others are east coast related. I’ve produced stuff for this underground emcee from California named A.P.T., the creator of the Obama Milli Song. He used couple of my beats on his 2 album projects, and as well as his other alter ego puppet, who he acts as Non Juan. He has an album called “909′s and Heart Flatlines”, but that’s not all, i’ve also produced tracks for other underground rappers as well, like Doggie Fresh, Lil Cheezy, Chris Wayne, just to name a few. Out of those people, A.P.T. has been creating killer successful bangers my with beats. All of my beats are made on Fruity Loops and old version of Pro Tools. Hopefully, that will get me noticed for my beat-making skills soon.
3. How About The Promotion?
I’m still working on that part of the plan but guess what, There will be music videos from me!!
Some will be in the house and shot on the green screen, while the others will have “somewhat budget” and be shot outside my house. I haven’t made an K.K.O.F. music video since May, I may pull off something, and hopefully, you will be amazed.
Beside the music videos, I will also be planning on doing stuff like: Radio Interviews, Live Interviews, Live performances at places, and all that stuff, and plus, i’m seeking for people who interested in getting a beat of mine.
And I guess that’s all I have for yall! I’m almost finished with the album, I should be finished by next week so I can send it off to iTunes and have it posted as soon as it can, I will keep you posted with the updates.
-K.K.O.F.
What’s Been Going On + Recent Updates!
Hello everyone, it’s me, K.K.O.F. (King K-Swagga On Fire),
I got to start blogging more often, but how could I. A little bit has changed since April but those who thought I was gone, well guess what, I’M BACK and I have not stopped making music, and i’m not gonna stop, that’s for sure!
In the meantime, I just wanted to give you a recent reviews of stuff been going on with me from my last music video and to the new stuff I had to do with, so here it goes…
Video #1: Turnt Up
Mini Music Video/Song Insight:
I made this beat back last year on a boring day. I was not in full rapping mode when I thought of this song, I have a tendency to play around in some songs, but I didn’t want to make the song sound bad, so I thought if I could make a positive song about things I did to make myself known and God, then it would be a good idea. For the video, it was shot in green screen, it was not clear because either the light was too close to the side or I didn’t have enough light in the backdrop, but I didn’t feel adjusting anything, so I left it as it is.
Video #2: Swag Game feat. Da Christian Wit Swagga
Mini Music Video/Song Insight:
This came together when I was on Facebook, I posted a status about something and my cousin Da Christian Wit Swagga (christian rap artist) asked me to send him a song to jump on, truthfully, I wasn’t expecting that but I knew eventually that I was gonna need him on a song with me, i’m kinda glad he requested it. I always wanted to work with him musically. So I went to my hard drive, pulled a beat, went to work on the song and sent him the beat, he sent it back with his verse that next day. Then he leaked it out before we even made the video. We was supposed to be in the video together for the song but he didn’t have time because he also play for the AFL (Arena Football League) – his name is Rico Reese and he played for…I forgot but later on, I asked him to send a footage of him mouthing the words to the song and from there, I edited it on my MAC for the first time, it came out great. This video was also in green screen but just for my part. The song got great reviews on Twitter & YouTube. Thanks C-Swagga!!
Video #3: Do My Thang
Mini Music Video/Song Insight:
Basically, one of my friends from school named Chris Wayne produced the beat, I was in his lab throwing it down. I kinda like this song. When it came to the video, I wanted to shoot it in green screen but due to my green poster paper being torn down off the wall, I shot it outside with 2 shots, one in my backyard and the other in my car porch. I also had a chain with an cross on it, so I decided to wear in the video, and at that point, I was already on a 45 day hiatus from music for a while.
Song #4: Up 2 No Good feat. Lil Cheezy
Mini Song Insight:
Not much to say but the same guy who produced “Do My Thang” name Chris Wayne also layed the beat down for this one as well. I didn’t really write this song but I thought of an crazy hook for the song. My friend Lil Cheezy wanted to jumped on the song, so I decided to send him to send him the song with an open 8 bars for him to lay his verse on and got it back within that day. I decided to put out a mixtape called “Never Been A Lame”, (inspired by my song I made back in March) just to tide the fans over until I put out some new product. I didn’t do a video for this one because I didn’t have time to, nor did Lil Cheezy.
Video #5: A.P.T. – No U Ain’t (Produced By ME!)
My Music Video/Production Insight:
In addition to making my own songs, i’m a producer as well. This song was made by A.P.T., the creator of the Obama Milli song. I produced quite a few songs for him, along with “Kate Gosselin Is A Bi**h”, “Imma Let You Finish” and others for his character he plays as Non Juan. Basically, I sent a folder contain a stack of beats I made to him and out of that folder, a total of 8 songs were used by him. After him coming from a hiatus from his music, he decided to get back into his music again since there were a few problems with his project. This song is called “No U Aint”, one of his recent songs off his new album “The Obama Milli Guy Strikes Back” and speaking from his perspective, some guys were promoting a shirt, and on that shirt, it had NO U AINT on it, so he decided to do a song about it. A few weeks, he sent me the song and I noticed that it was from a beat I made.
As for the video: This is not my music video but A.P.T. asked me to shoot a footage of me mouthing the words to the song since I produced the beat, which is fair. I wanted to do in green screen so bad, but threw all my green poster paper in the trash and I didn’t feel like putting back up on the wall, so I shot downstair in the den where my MAC computer is, I shot it with my camera and sent it off to him and the video was up on YouTube a week later. I didn’t get to see the video until the next day after he posted up because I had to work. Everything was in green screen except ME!!
So, that’s it in terms of my music video and productions. Right now I’m working on some new songs for my first album…in the meantime, The Redprint mixtape is available as a free download, as well as my new mini-mixtape “Never Been A Lame” – which can be found at this address: www.KKOFmusic.com/FreeMixtapes
I will talk to yall soon!!

The Inspiration To My Beat-Making!!
This is my 4 year making beats and the thing is, I learned how to make them in a short amount of time. When I first started making beats, they were uptempo or fast paced. Most of my first set of beats were into a pop form, because I was in that kind of mode. Before I was making beats, I was using other beats, the producers who I know personally. Three of the beat-makers went to school with me. Their names were Jack Chane, J.J. Playboy & Chris Wayne. These are the reason why I decided to pursued beat-making.
Jack Chane who real name is Chane Jackson is the cousin of the other producer who I just mentioned named Chris Wayne. He was my first ever personal producer. Basically, his beats had a very close comparison to Just Blaze and The Neptunes. The beats he made was hard knocking and had you dancing. He also produced my very first mixtape “The Beginning Of King Kut” in 2002. Plus, he produced 2 more of my mixtapes, can’t remember what I called them but every song is his was pretty much fast paced and danceable, that’s the kind songs that i’m good at making. So where is he now, well, we got into an argument shorty after my 19th birthday and pretty screwed me over for money. I haven’t heard from him since then.
J.J. Playboy, real name is Jason Peterson. I met him at middle school. I was freestyling outside one day and shorty after, he came up to me and ask me do I need beats. I told him that I needed some for my 4th mixtape. He told me that he can make beats and he would like me to listen to them. He sent some beats the next day and he listened to them. The beats he made blew my mind. He gave a CD with 14 beats on them. Some of them were fast-paced and some of them with that dirty south style to them, I wanted them beats. So I asked him on the next school day how much was the CD of beats he gave me, he said that he was not planning on selling them but he charge me only $10, so I payed him and I quickly recorded song off his beats. A year later, he gave another set of beats, so I used them too. The last time I seen him was in my junior year in high school before I had to transfer to another high school called Grady High. We lost contact with each other since then. He was a great beat-maker and maybe one day, I might bump into him somewhere in Atlanta.
Chris Wayne, real name is Christian Wayne and the cousin of my former producer Jack Chane. I met him about 5 years ago when I perform at his sister’s birthday party, his sister was my ex-girlfriend. He started out as a fan of me, he would always speak to me and tell me how much he likes my music. He even freestyled for me once. We went to the same High School for 3 years and when I transferred, I didn’t see him until I moved into Decatur a year later after I graduated from high school. I happen to bump into at another venue where I was performing, he figured he’d keep up with me on the internet. 3 months later when I broke up with his sister, he contacted me on my email and ask me would I listen to his beats, I couldn’t turn that down. So I listened to them and his beats sound much different then his cousins, he was a beast on the piano. I told him I liked them and he gave me 6 beats for free. A month later, I collab on a song with him called “Them Girls Love Me“, he was putting together his first mixtape and I was gearing up for my 6th mixtape “No Pain, No Gain“. We performed the song in Riverdale at a pool party and the song became a hit. Every since then, we been putting out hits together until 2 years later, I learned how to make beats and at the time, he joined a rap group called The Young Riders. I haven’t heard from him since he joined the group, but then…I managed to bump to him in Kirkwood, my stomping ground. He had left the group and we talked. He recently just joined another unsigned rap group but we still talk to this day.
All of them people are the reason why I wanted to become my own producer. The thing is, they all are not in the same boat as me because I already got quite a buzz of me working with other artists. I produced more beats for artists than they did. I work hard each day to make sure my beats sound differently than others. My favorite genre in my profession of making beats are dirty south rap, as you can tell if you heard my songs or people who I produced song for. Like for example: A.P.T.’s upcoming song I produced for “No U Aint”, a very hype southern style beat at my best.
I also have a section on my site where you can find my production credits, but they’re not the only artists I produced songs for. Not only I can create dirty south beats, I can also remake a popular beat. As a matter of fact, I’ve remade a beat for A.P.T. puppet project Non Juan. I remade Snoop Dogg’s “Sensual Seduction” beat into a parody of Non Juan’s “Erectile Dysfunction” beat, sound almost just like it but if you listened closely, you will tell the difference. I have also remade 3 songs of Master P, which I have sold to other artists.
Now I feel like it’s my time to get recognized for my past works. I have also learned that if you give an popular artist a beats that you’ve made, it will get you attention and people will start to see that you have the skills of beat-making. The songs I produced for A.P.T. has been hits, so yeah, I make hits and I suggest that if you’re an artist who wants hits just like A.P.T., then you should give me a try and trust me, you WILL like my beats. I work so hard on them beats and it has payed off. Who said that you can’t be a rapper and make hot beats, NOTHING & NOBODY. Get with the beat-making movement of me, because i’m the #1 source for great beats with great sounds.
