Early Life and Education
Kahli Abdu was born in the early 80s to Mr and Mrs Abdu. He started doing music during his childhood days. Kahli Abdu is not an exception to the rule that most musicians began singing in their living rooms and churches. Being raised by parents who sang in the church choir meant that he was surrounded by music. He was a part of several singing groups as well, but he didn’t try rapping until 1996.
There is no information about the schools he attended.
Career
Kahli Abdu joined a group called 11:30 in 2002, marking the official start of what has since turned out to be a very fruitful adventure. Later, when Jesse Jagz of Chocolate City joined, the group changed its name to Eltophelli. They are now a part of a burgeoning artistic community in Jos that also includes MI, Ruby, Lindsey, Ice Prince, Christine, Eve Urrah, and many others.
In 2005, Kahli Abdu relocated to the United States and met with producers Kid Konnect and Chief Williz (of Basement Batman). They supplied the beats, and Kahli Abdu recorded numerous songs that eventually appeared on his debut mixtape, “The Grind Theory.” He collaborated with DJ DOOM of New York on the EP “Beats & Rhymes” prior to the release of “The Grind Theory,” which is available on iTunes. A few years later, Kahli Abdu created “Ministry of Corruption,” his second mixtape and most well-known body of work, after being influenced by the life and work of Fela Kuti.
Soon after, he began “Rebel Friday,” which has now been collected and includes 13 songs. Later, in the US early last year, Kid Konnect and Kahli Abdu collaborated to create the mixtape “Bandits,” which will be released soon. The first album by Kahli Abdu, titled “Rebelution,” is currently being worked on and should be released this year. He has also begun working on his Rebel Friday II project.
