Posed on a beat capable of mixing the timeless charm of the overseas rap-game with the most modern European productions – realized by the irreproachable finesse in the sound rendering of the most trusted Killoz -, “What do you want?!” translates the first step of a long introspective journey into metrics, which the artist himself explains to the press with these words:
«Shortly after the beginning of my musical journey, I received bad news, which triggered a circle of difficulties, a sort of loop of problems and chaos. On that occasion, I realized that I would have to reorganize my life, a bit like when you have a child. And so I did, even with music. It was a bit like rebuilding oneself from the inside, step by step ».

Biography
Kevin Love, aka Kevin Pomponi, is a Lugano rapper and tattoo artist born in 1992. Growing up with his mother, during his adolescence he lived in different cities in Switzerland, meeting different people, cultures and charisms that allowed him to enrich his baggage personal and to corroborate his ability to adapt. Among colors, street art and skate influences, of which he is a former professional, he approaches the world of tattoos, a passion that leads him to become a professional tattoo artist and to be known internationally. At the age of 24, his first child, Kyle, was born, and just a year later, the second, Tyler: the wonderful experience of becoming a parent led him to further develop determination and tenacity.
During his first stay in Los Angeles – one of the cities where he currently works – he discovers a passion for America and street style, both in the world of tattoos, but above all in the musical one and it is from there that he draws inspiration for his lyrics, his melodies and his flow, merging different genres and experimenting, to give life to his personal stylistic code, far from labels and categorizations. In April 2022, he released his first official single, “1000 Sbatti”, a release that sees him alongside the very popular Madrid trapper Papi Trujillo and with whom he is appreciated by the public and critics as a young and brilliant champion of the music scene able to draw from their multi-ethnic professional background, bringing in unique and original releases that make it instantly recognizable, thanks to a cosmopolitan, but strongly identifying cut. After a series of lucky successes, in September of the same year, the artist releases on all digital stores “Ice Kream Love”, his debut EP in which he reconfirms talent, versatility and expressive urgency.
