Las Vegas, NV. – Every 10 or 20 or a 1,000 years, the voice of a society itself surfaces out of the darkness of the underground scene. A voice penetrates your ears and you think this is like Nikki Manage but hard core. But then it’s clear to you. This is nothing like that at all. You’re a fool. You try to leave but your body won’t respond. It’s moving to a rhythm all its own. You become a scared little child losing control of your senses to her rhyme. You wonder to yourself why everything you’ve ever heard up until now has led up to this one ultimate experience. This must be your death, because it can’t possibly get better than this. You feel like you felt the first time you kissed. Like the first time you drove a car. Like the first time you made love. In fact, every great moment you’ve ever felt in your life you feel all at once. By the third rhyme, your world is gone, distilled down to a reality you never want to and can never escape. More than anything else is an artistic integrity that shines through every word you hear. You feel every word she emotes piercing into your soul like the cold blade of a knife cutting through flesh.
Welcome into the dimension that is Kimba Listic.
Just like the smile of a new born baby, the rhymes of Kimba Listic will literally make you the happiest person who has ever walked the earth.

Her warrior spirit was brought to life when over a decade of circumstance forced her to develop the qualities of courage, strength, endurance and limitless faith. While focusing on self-awareness to enable mental healing through understanding, her life purpose was revealed, which also gave absolute reason to past experiences (i.e., everything happens for a reason.)
