DJ K.I. - Website

Welcome members from the old Dj K.I. site,
- I created this new site with a better forum as well as info, pictures and videos from the old site.

Born in the A-B-E Metro area of Pennsylvania, United States, DJ K.I. (aka Deejay KHarma Infinite aka DJ Karma Infinite aka K.I.) started out deejaying in 1993 doing house parties, local shows and making cassette mixtapes until 1995. Later, he started making beats and working with local emcess gainning attention for his versatile production. In 1997 K.I. joined the group The All-Star Alliance that was signed to Rotten Garden Records as one of the main producers/beatmakers/djs. RGR consisted of artists Mic Lord, Joe Frazier, Pryme Prolifik, Tradition, Koyotte, Chemical Imbalance, 10th Planet, Duel Dominance, BlackSmith and more. He then started writing, graffiti tagging, rapping, producing, deejaying and engineering in 1998 for the label. K.I. also collaborated and battled some of the up and coming artists featured on sites like rap2000.com in the late 90's, Chris Lesse (of the now "Don't Flop" battle league) and others in the early 00's :

He created intros and battled on various radio stations such as Lehigh University Radio, however K.I. was mainly a conscience emcee/beatmaker/dj. He is more known for his beats and deejay scratching/mixing skills than he is for rapping, although he occasionally still does rap. In 2002 the members of the The All-Star Alliance started to focus more on their solo careers, yet all still stayed signed to Rotten Garden Records and collaborated on the labels vinyl released projects. This is when all the members starting gaining more exposure and reviews especially from overseas :

After the The All-Star Alliance broke up, K.I. formed a new group called the Knowledge Gods with poet/emcee/producer Legendary, Prolifik Thought and now Conspiracy of Mind's MC - Born Visionz (known then as K.B.) all of which were signed to the indie label Dark Legacy. In 2004 the Knowledge Gods changed their name to the Iron Cladzmen with only K.I. and Legendary as the group members, however they kept their mananger D. Allen from RGR. The group represents conscience, truth, knowledge, wisdom and understanding over mostly dark instrumentals. They produce their beats on analog filtered hardware, then those beats are instantly converted into digital wav using a computer interface. They use the digital interface to record vocals over the analog to digitally converted beats which gives the final digital mixdown a more "warm" type of sound quality. Some like this, some don't.

In Early 2008 he released the Iron Ages compilation that includes 50 of his best produced songs off the 50 albums he recorded from 1999 to 2008. The album was revised in 2009 after M-Eighty became the Iron Cladzmen new manager and it features such artists as Canibus, M-Eighty, PaceWon, Presto, Legendary, Mic Lord, Joe Frazier and Tame One :

In late 2008 the Iron Cladzmen caught the ear of A&R and Wu Tang Affiliate M-Eighty as they were opening up for a Canibus show. Later, they collaborated and M-Eighty shot a promo video as well as 2 HD video singles "Ungrateful" and "Bust Back" (which has appearances by Raekwon, Capone-N-Norega and more) for their debut studio LP, "The Golden Ages". The album was presented by Wu A&R and rapper M-Eighty and originally released on itunes and other sites as a digital only release. However after popular demand (many requests and some fan feedback to improve certain aspects of the digital version) it was later professionally remastered and engineered by Dj Kru for physical/compact disc retail release in 2010. M-Eighty, Canibus and K.I. shot a double promo video for the Melatonin Magik album by Canibus as well as for the newly remastered Golden Ages CD. All of the beats on the album were produced by the Iron Cladzmen and the album features M-Eighty, Canibus, PaceWon, 60 Second Assassin, DZK, Presto, Almighty artists, Rotten Garden Record artists and many more :
