(Ekdilos & Kidnapper).
From the year 2014,i'm making some worldwide hiphop works with many mc's,producers and crews around the world.The idea was mine since May 2014 and keep going on with 5 global albums.The purpose of these albums and tracks, is to stay focus on that real hiphop sound which we learned since we were kids. I'm not doing it for the money or for the fame or for fans.I don't want those things. Doing it real from my heart and always giving my albums for free.
