Earlier this month, Killa Cal, one of the best go-go rappers in the game and a long time member of the What Band, declared himself a free agent. Cal's decision to leave the What Band was surprising, and speculation about what he would do next sparked pointed conversations on Facebook, Twitter, and across the DMV blogosphere.
"Is he going back to the What Band? Will he join the Backyard Band? Will he become a go-go mercenary and float from band to band (see: Little Benny)? Or will he abandon go-go completely and simply be a full time rapper?"
When the smoke cleared, the questions were answered in spectacular fashion when Killa Cal stepped on stage with Rare Essence, and immediately began performing in front of sold-out venues.
ST: You've had a lot of people talking recently. Do you want to address the situation with the What Band?
KC: No problem, a couple of things contributed to me leaving. I don't think we were on the same page as far as goals, and I feel like communication could have been a lot better. I just felt like it was time to move on. And luckily I was blessed with some major offers as far as bands. Of course in the end I chose RE (Rare Essence).
