Biography
ELLAY KHULE is a veteran in this underground rap game. He has been rapping for over a decade and a half. He started off as a youth freestyling bag rapping with family and friends, which led to a life-time love. Stuck between the streets (gangs) of L.A. and hip hop, hip hop eventually won out.
Always winning various showcases and talent shows as a youngster - but having a knack for curb battling and cipher challenges. Being victorious more times than not, the reputation of the emcee grew. Having ole skool influences such as RUN DMC, GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS 5, CHILL ROB G, KANE, KOOL G RAP, WHODINI-PE, DOUGIE FRESH, and SLICK RICK.
Hip hop wasn’t his only influence. He was into COLTRANE, QUIET RIOT, KRAFTWERK, MALCOLM MACCLAREN, NEW WAVE, REGGAE and OLE SKOOL R&B SOUL; so, he naturally incorporates those music influences into the unmatched patterns and rhythms of his rhyme structure.
In 1989, a place called the Good Life Café opened and it was where the youth could verbally express themselves in an open mic forum. This is the place where the emcee ELLAY KHULE really connected and matured lyrically. One reason was the ongoing friendly competition with musical comrades such as FREESTYLE FELLOWSHIP, CVE, FUNKY TREND, ATU, AHMAD, VOLUME 10, KURUPT, OMD, JURASIK 5, and BUSDRIVER, to name a few.
He is one of the very few of the original lifers who still uses the original lethal fast tongue style.
