Papanui's Problem

Kalisima aka Karizma has been around the New Zealand hip-hop scene

for almost 10 years, starting as a b-boy in late 98 he gave up the

floor to pursue his passion as an mc. Since then he has never looked

back with five of his own mix tapes and a little over 15 guest appearances including Busta Rhymes, Black Eyed Peas, Cypress Hill and 50cent.

In 2007 along with Surkiss and Basic, they established there own indie

imprint in Red Corner Records where Kalisima injects his skill and

experience through artist and representation, event promotion

and of course music direction. With all this to take on board, as well as promoting Christchurch’s first underground monthly Capitol

Punishment and working on his own record, its not hard

to tell why Kalisima is considered one of the hardest working

mc's in the south island. His drive and ambition have helped

fuel the flames that has given the south island some much

needed attention over the past 4 years. His music has

been described as both honest, hard hitting and technically

brilliant, but you be the judge!
