K.I.G - The UK Funky House Veterans

Kings Inda Ghetto, formally known as K.I.G initially began making music nine years ago. They took their music from pirate radio stations, youth clubs and charity events to the forefront of the mainstream music industry in 2008 when they released their hit funky house anthem 'Head's, Shoulders Knee's and Toe's'. The single received immense airplay and claimed a place in the UK’s Top 40 Singles Chart as well as featuring on BBC's Radio 1xtra, Choice FM and Kiss FM.

I thought I'd catch up with the CEO Skitz to find out what’s happened since then.


After performing in front of thousands of people at the BBC Radio Weekender as well as the MOBO Awards, Skitz would say, this is the best place their music has taken them. He likes the fact the UK music scene is moving forward and getting heard all over the world, but dislike the fact a lot DJ’s ‘kiss ass’ and ‘follow fashion’ and that artists in the scene, ‘don't show enough love to other artist they only show love when an artist is at the top’. 

K.I.G are not just a group of nine males, but a family of talented individuals who love 'making people dance and enjoy the good vibes'. Their group consists of DJ's, rappers and singers as rave promoters. They are well known for hosting raves such as Anne Summers V La Senza, Leo Link Up and Sexy Cinderella which have taken place in North and East London.


Making music 'is a way of using our energy in the correctly instead of being on the roads and doing something that wouldn't let us be happy'. Skitz says speaks on behalf of his team yet along the way they've still overcome the difficulties of DJ's not supporting and playing there music as well as receiving negativity from other artists in the scene. They believe 'when you make good music no one can stop because they will always be other people that want to hear your music'.  

The collective plan ‘to be making a lot of noise’ and being loud so they can be herd all over the place. So expect great music, clothing, mixtapes, albums, videos, and schools tours, ‘basically a world take over’
