K’s abilities to successfully sample any & EVERYTHING he finds or is commissioned to have allowed him to work with a range of music artists including Grammy-nominated R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn to the Capcom-licensed emcee Mega Ran, whose music has helped galvanize the hip-hop sub-genre called “nerdcore".
