about
It’s hard to imagine Kollosus (from the word colossus meaning a person of immense size and strength) as JUST being a rapper. And looks can be very deceiving. The 21-year old Jamaican bred, Decatur raised MC has all the trappings of a contemporary artist. So many that one may think he almost fits the profile TOO well. But Kollosus (born Kirk Young) is the furthest from common and being average is something he refuses to do well. “I strive for perfection,” he says with barely a hint of his native JA accent. “People don't realize this is a not a game. They think you just show up and get big watches, a Ferrari and a girl and that's it but that's so far from reality.” When talking to Kollosus one can't tell if his life has been so pleasant that he embellishes the stories that give him the edge found in his music or if it’s been so colorful that he just naturally lives in the scenes of the movie of his life. Early on, the latter can be established. “My music is about everything that happens in my life, the things I'VE done and seen. I've been working on setting myself up in music for a long time,” he says in a quiet yet determined tone.” But I didn't always have this situation with Block Entertainment so I've had to find other ways to support myself until something came along." He won't talk about what those other ways are but he eagerly offers the story of how Russell “Block” Spencer, CEO of Block ENT found and recruited him to sit among his roster of A List artists such as Goril
