"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce [The People] under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
KLOKi radio rises from the ashes of what was supposed to be freedom in America, to introduce a rebellious and powerful music format that is expressively anti-authoritarian. Characterized by its raw energy, political undertones, and DIY ethos, KLOKi Radio addresses social and political issues, challenging authority and advocating for change. Its appeal calls for the uprising of individualism to question societal norms and expectations by reaching far outside of mainstream culture through alternative artistic musical expression.
Project Update
KLOKi radio is proud to be the first to announce the arrival of OpenVerseChallenge.com.
An open verse challenge is a contest that encourages fans and other musicians to add their own lyrics to an artist's music, either by rapping or singing along with the instrumental. For artists, the platform is a fun and exciting way to create meaningful connections with their fan base; and for fans, it provides them with the opportunity to meet their favorite musicians, transform their music in to their own, and discover new talent coming up from the underground.
