KILOHANA is a Los Angeles rapper, singer and songwriter whose music moves freely across hip-hop, R&B and pop. His song “Ahold of Me” was placed in NBA 2K21, and his new album, My Love Already Slid Past, arrived August 9, 2026 on his 9Million imprint. He owns 100% of his masters and publishing.

KILOHANA, known as Kilo, is a Los Angeles rapper, singer and songwriter. He came up in Southern California's late-2000s scene, performing at high school assemblies across the region and absorbing the sound, style and confidence of a defining moment in West Coast music.

His influences run through the artists who defined that time: Lil Wayne's No Ceilings, G-Unit's Beg for Mercy and Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak — artists KILOHANA calls “hands down the biggest artists in the world. Untouchable.”

His first placement, “Ahold of Me,” landed on NBA 2K21 — the Mamba Forever (Kobe Bryant) Edition. KILOHANA describes it as a pivotal moment in his life and career: “It changed everything.”

Releasing through his 9Million imprint, KILOHANA has built a six-project catalog since 2021, from Here Today Gone Tomorrow (2021) and Hell Over Night (2022) to Unapologetic (2024), Westcoast Summers (2025), Playerz Only (2026) and his newest album, My Love Already Slid Past (August 9, 2026). He owns 100% of his masters and publishing.

KILOHANA has worked with producers Nico Baran (Ice Spice, The Kid LAROI), Gotdamnitdupri, Sorry Jaynari, Vangala and IIInfinite, and his album My Love Already Slid Past features TOUSHAI on four tracks.

On stage, KILOHANA has performed at Rose Bowl Stadium, Garden Amphitheater, The Roxy, Whisky a Go Go and The Novo. He has played The Smokers Club Fest twice, at Glen Helen Amphitheater and the Queen Mary in Long Beach, to crowds in the tens of thousands, and he has also delivered a halftime performance at an LA Clippers game. He played the Once Upon a Time in L.A. festival at Banc of California Stadium and Exposition Park, performed at The Yost Theater in Santa Ana on August 9, 2024, on a bill headlined by Yung Bleu, and returned to Garden Amphitheater in 2025 on a bill headlined by Too $hort.
