Krept and Konan are an English hip hop duo from South London, consisting of Casyo "Krept" Johnson, born 4 February 1990 (age 24) from Gipsy Hill[1] and Karl "Konan" Wilson, born 3 September 1989 (age 24) from Thornton Heath.[2] Their debut album Young Kingz was released on 2 September 2013.[3] The duo are known for making an impact on the UK underground scene with their music, punch lines and metaphors. As of 23 October 2013, Krept and Konan signed a record deal with Virgin EMI Records.In 2008, Krept and Konan met and formed a friendship, and in 2009 became a musical duo and started to take music seriously. Shortly after the formation, in 2010 the duo released their very first mixtape titled Redrum featuring collaborations from london underground rappers from Jadajazz, Killa Ki, Fret Deezy, Snap and many more.In 2010 the rap duo released their second mixtape titled Tsunami featuring several mainstream artists including Ghetts, Giggs, Scorcher and Wretch 32. The mixtape was relatively well received with 2,000 copies sold and an estimate of 60,000 illegal downloads. Krept and konan have a mixed genre of music from hip hop to rap. They started producing mixtapes which were totally free and involved well known other grime artists When they made their own version ortis which was originally made my jay z and kanye west they suprised youtube gaining over 4 millions views. This is the point where their fan base really seemed to develop. This is before they were signed and were self publishing DIY artists. Once they got recognized they also brought a synergy into the context as they started selling their own clothing called "play dirty" which to some extent is quite popular now after being more recognized they started doing mixtapes with known artist such as wretch and chipmunk they finnally got signed by emi records. They also broke a world record for Highest charting UK album by an unsigned act. The pair earned the title " Young Kingz" which entered into the top 20 in the UK album charts . Being in the top 20 and not being signed to any labels is a great acheivement . Now that they do have a label they their fan base should start growing even more and nt to forget they won a mobo award..
