Bio
Marvin Aborca Sotelo (Born March 3, 1987) who usually goes by M.A. Sotelo
or "Knife" Sotelo but is better known by Knifer or Filerro. He is a gangsta
rapper, producer, occultist, author, and record executive from East Los
Angeles, California. He is also the only rapper of Filipino and Spaniard
descent to be labeled under Chicano rap since the genre is mainly rappers
of Mexican descent. Although his style is generally considered Chicano rap,
his ambiguous ethnicity may have caused him to declaim the genre,
preferring to style himself as a "Maravilla rapper", in the Philippines he
coined his music Chavacano rap since Filipino rap is heterogeneous,
encompassing rap in languages such as Tagalog, Chavacano, Spanish and
Ilocano, as well as English. Knife is considered by many to be a driving
force in bringing back the Gangsta rap scene and is regarded as the first
(LaVeyan) Satanic rapper in the world.
