Khalil Tatem, famously known as Killy, is a Canadian rapper hailing from Toronto. Born on August 19, 1997, to a Bajan father and Filipino mother, Killy’s multicultural upbringing infused his music with diverse influences. Growing up in Toronto before relocating to Victoria, British Columbia, Killy navigated different cultural landscapes, shaping his perspective and artistry.

His musical journey began as a hobby during his time at Agincourt Collegiate Institute in Toronto. However, it wasn’t until 2015 that he immersed himself in rap and the city’s vibrant nightlife scene. Killy’s breakthrough came in 2017 with the release of “Killamonjaro,” a viral hit certified Platinum in Canada. This success led to notable appearances on platforms like Adam22’s “No Jumper” podcast and Drake’s OVO Sound Radio.

In 2018, Killy dropped his debut album, “Surrender Your Soul,” garnering critical acclaim and spawning hits like “No Sad No Bad.” Subsequent releases, including the EP “KILLSTREAK” and albums like “LIGHT PATH 8,” solidified his position in the rap scene.

Throughout his career, Killy has continually evolved his sound and storytelling. His latest ventures, including “KILLSTREAK 3” (K3), showcase his versatility, with tracks like “Mind” delving into personal themes of loss and introspection.

As Killy’s star continues to rise, his journey from Toronto’s underground rap scene to international recognition epitomizes the resilience and creativity of Canada’s hip-hop culture.
