Killa C Thesis

As a young 13 year old in 8th grade, I was not expecting a reading teacher to once had been a rapper. As a teacher, his name was Mr. Hill but as a rapper, his name was Killa C. Everyone in 8th grade heard about him being a rapper before the year even started. His music seemed to be sort of devil worshipping and not true to his life. If I must say, it was stunning to see downtown Billings in a music video. In his videos he basically walked around the whole city neighborhood, throwing up his hands randomly.

Killa C also wore horns on his head for an even more horrifying
