The Mint is the musical collaboration of Kaliban and DJ Obi. From servin kids on the school bus at the age of nine to surviving the street wars of South Central, Kaliban is a true soul survivor. With an agenda of terror, hes known in the L.A. hip-hop scene as one of the fiercest battle rappers with clever writtens in the notebook. Many well-known if not famous mcs have been defeated by Kaliban in the blink of an eye. Reppin The Mint and Filthy Rich Crew, Kaliban stays hungry and humble at the same time while pushing his lyrics to the next level. His forceful voice and energetic hellfire delivery lace DJ Obis beats with pinpoint accuracy. Known for his aggressive beats, catchy melodies, and sick scratches, DJ Obi steps up to the plate at every opportunity. As a skilled guitar and bass player, Obi makes it a point to make every song a mixture of knockin drums, dusty samples, and live musicianship. With a strong distaste for mainstream hip-hop and a refusal to conform to any trendy formula, Obis style is completely his own. With an abundance of mix tapes, albums, eps, radio appearances, and live shows under his belt, this L.A. native has become a fixture in the City of Angels. The Mint represents a meeting of the minds and the realization of a dream. With their self-produced label Think Green Records, The Mint handles every aspect of their music on their own, representing creativity, hostility, a subtle sense of humor, creative control, and an overall dedication to the craft of hip-hop. Always giving back to the hip-hop community, You can look forward to their debut album Textbook Terrorism with the single Sewaside featured in the Lions Gate horror movie Drive-Thru which comes out on DVD May 29th, 2007..
