They say a journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single step. What if that first step is into a brand-new, foreign land? For Boston-based Rapper, and aspiring mogul, KING Karlemagne, its been a tumultuous journey one that began with a 10,000-mile trip, and with an end yet to be written. Born in Cameroon, a disparate country in central Africa, Karl’s early misfortunes would later help catapult his rhymes into impassioned pleas of survival.
A move to Boston at age nine, while a better situation for the family, put Karl on the early defensive at an age which otherwise would be spent in relative innocence.A native French speaker, the upheaval to an English-speaking land provided what could only be described as a massive culture shock. With hip-hop as the anchor, Karl’s influences of 50 Cent, Michael Jackson, along with his native African tones & drumbeats, allowed him to finally open his sphere of influence and he hasn’t looked back since.
