About the artist:
Kilo Kapanel is a hip-hop artist from Sacramento, California. Born Henry
Buris, Member of Sacramento Rap Group Mobfioso Squad Boyz, and Current
Member of 2pac's Rap group THUG-LIFE, Now KNOWN as "THUGMOB". Kilo who is a
Texas native, Kilo Kapanel moved to California at age 13, when he hooked up
with Brotha Lynch and hung and experienced his first exhibition in a
studio. At that moment Kapanel knew what he wanted to do. Kilo Kapanel went
to Florin High School where he met three others MCs: Marc Twain,
Koo-Laveesh, and Macadame, and they formed a group called Explicit Fam.
Later they added one more member to the group by name of Young Joker, who
had gained his own success as a California rap star, with album releases
like Who's Laughing at Cha and several music compilations. Young Joker then
put out his sophomore album Something Major featuring Explicit, in which
Kilo Kapanel illustrated pure raw talent.
Thus gaining him a buzz as a dope solo artist, in 1999 explicit FAM
released their first group album selling over more than 25,000 copies
regionally. This gave Kilo Kapanel the intent to go solo after group fell
apart. Kilo Kapanel moved back to Dallas, Texas and released his first solo
project which sold just fewer than 30,000 copies. Kilo's attractive sound
and hard rhymes ushered in a new form of gangsta rap (mob music), so Kilo
Kapanel moved back to California and released his sophomore album Plan,
Plot, & Strategize which sold 50,000 copies nationwide.

depicted documentary about the life and times on a gangsta rap label. Now
