Darren Kandler
Profile:
Ricochet Klashnekoff is one of the freshest talents on the UK Hip Hop scene at the moment, and with a wealth of P.A.s, radio appearances and magazine features to his credit all signs suggest that he is well on his way to the top of the game.

The founder member of the Terra Firma crew, Klashnekoff, (Pronounced, k-lash-nek-off), is a Hackney born and bred father of two, whose west-Indian roots have proved to be a strong influence on his music. He chooses to leave the labelling of his style to the masses, but does admit to drawing inspiration from a bank of talent that reads like a trans-genre hall of fame, with appearances from the likes of David Bowie and Bob Marley. Wherever or whatever his brand of Hip Hop there is no doubt that it has definitely quenched the underground’ s thirst for something new.

His last 12” on YNR, Daggo Mentality/Jankrowville circulated the biggest buzz enjoyed by a new artist for a while, since being the stand out cut on the Word Lab II compilation in 2001. It has since gone on to enjoy heavy rotation on both pirate and national radio and to secure club anthem status.

His first AA 12" Our Time/Zero (Kemet Entertainment) was also well received by critics and fans alike and is still flying out of record stores.

When not performing up and down the country, (bookings include, Beatnuts, DMX and Mobb Deep, Kung Fu, Rawganics, ECKO clothing UK launch, Summer Jam and Clash of the Titans), Klashnekoff is busy in the studio working on the Terra Firma project, planned for release in 2004. With the artist determined to set, not only the standard, but also the pace, for Hip Hop in the UK this is set to be a big year for him, his crew and the music they love. Don’t worry, if you manage to sleep on this amazing new talent… you will be woken up.
