Stir Crazy

Horrorcore rap is like the lyrical version of death metal or a very vivid dark music. The genre was originally considered a fad, just as the hip-hop culture was once considered. But now more than ever, horrorcore is growing and is at the forefront of the Michigan scene.

Southgate’s Ikkurruz could be the key ingredient to keep the format fresh. When approached last year by Anybody Killa (ABK) to join his label Native World Inc., he saw the potential to bring music to this fan base. Ikkurruz understands there are no hand- outs in this game. That’s why you see this dude with crazy promotion.

Ikkurruz is now working on his fourth album, Dismembered in December, with producer Stir Crazy on the beats. This December, they will bring some hardhittin' horrorcore, just like the kids like it. Ikkurruz comments on negative press about horrorcore: “People fear what they don’t understand. Come to a show and see all the love around, then write your story.”

He’s already rockin' shows as far away as New Mexico and Denver but his next stop is at home as part of The Down River Hip Hop Jam 2009 on Friday, October 16, at Simons in Allen Park. More info at myspace.com/ikkurruzmusic. | RDW
